perf tests: Add dlfilter test

2021-08-11T12:35:44+00:00

Add a perf test to test the dlfilter C API. A perf.data file is synthesized and then processed by perf script with a dlfilter named dlfilter-test-api-v0.so. Also a C file is compiled to provide a dso to match the synthesized perf.data file.

perf tests: Consolidate test__arch_unwind_sample declaration

2021-05-21T19:57:43+00:00

There's no reason for making the test__arch_unwind_sample declaration per arch. Currently that's done 2 different ways either with a declaration in arch-tests.h or with an arch define. Unify all this with an unconditional declaration in tests.h.

perf tools: Add OCaml demangling

2021-02-17T18:15:06+00:00

Detect symbols generated by the OCaml compiler based on their prefix. Demangle OCaml symbols, returning a newly allocated string (like the existing Java demangling functionality).

perf test: Implement skip_reason callback for watchpoint tests

2020-11-04T12:42:40+00:00

Currently reason for skipping the read only watchpoint test is only seen when running in verbose mode: $ perf test watchpoint 23: Watchpoint : 23.1: Read Only Watchpoint : Skip 23.2: Write Only Watchpoint : Ok 23.3: Read / Write Watchpoint : Ok 23.4: Modify Watchpoint : Ok $ perf test -v watchpoint 23: Watchpoint : 23.1: Read Only Watchpoint : --- start --- test child forked, pid 60204 Hardware does not support read only watchpoints. test child finished with -2 Implement skip_reason callback for the watchpoint tests, so that it's easy to see reason why the test is skipped: $ perf test watchpoint 23: Watchpoint : 23.1: Read Only Watchpoint : Skip (missing hardware support) 23.2: Write Only Watchpoint : Ok 23.3: Read / Write Watchpoint : Ok 23.4: Modify Watchpoint : Ok Signed-off-by: Tommi Rantala Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201016131650.72476-1-tommi.t.rantala@nokia.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tests tsc: Add checking helper is_supported()

2020-11-04T12:42:40+00:00

So far tsc is enabled on x86_64, i386 and Arm64 architectures, add checking helper to skip this testing for other architectures.

perf tests tsc: Make tsc testing as a common testing

2020-11-04T12:42:40+00:00

x86 arch provides the testing for conversion between tsc and perf time, the testing is located in x86 arch folder. Move this testing out from x86 arch folder and place it into the common testing folder, so allows to execute tsc testing on other architectures (e.g. Arm64). This patch removes the inclusion of "arch-tests.h" from the testing code, this can avoid building failure if any arch has no this header file.

perf tests: Add test for PE binary format support

2020-09-04T17:38:15+00:00

This adds a precompiled file in PE binary format, with split debug file, and tries to read its build_id and .gnu_debuglink sections, as well as looking up the main symbol from the debug file. This should succeed if libbfd is supported.

perf tools: Add optional support for libpfm4

2020-05-29T19:51:38+00:00

This patch links perf with the libpfm4 library if it is available and LIBPFM4 is passed to the build. The libpfm4 library contains hardware event tables for all processors supported by perf_events. It is a helper library that helps convert from a symbolic event name to the event encoding required by the underlying kernel interface. This library is open-source and available from: http://perfmon2.sf.net. With this patch, it is possible to specify full hardware events by name. Hardware filters are also supported. Events must be specified via the --pfm-events and not -e option. Both options are active at the same time and it is possible to mix and match: $ perf stat --pfm-events inst_retired:any_p:c=1:i -e cycles .... One needs to explicitely ask for its inclusion by using the LIBPFM4 make command line option, ie its opt-in rather than opt-out of feature detection and build support.
