2013-11-12perf tests: Compensate lower sample freq with longer test loopAdrian Hunter
Doesn't work for me: ./perf test -v 19 19: Test software clock events have valid period values : --- start --- mmap size 528384B mmap size 528384B All (0) samples have period value of 1! ---- end ---- Test software clock events have valid period values: FAILED!

2013-11-11perf tests: Use lower sample_freq in sw clock event period testArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We were using it at 10 kHz, which doesn't work in machines where somehow the max freq was auto reduced by the kernel: [root@ssdandy ~]# perf test 19 19: Test software clock events have valid period values : FAILED! [root@ssdandy ~]# perf test -v 19 19: Test software clock events have valid period values : --- start --- Couldn't open evlist: Invalid argument ---- end ---- Test software clock events have valid period values: FAILED! [root@ssdandy ~]# [root@ssdandy ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate 7000 Reducing it to 500 Hz should be good enough for this test and also shouldn't affect what it is testing. But warn the user if it fails, informing the knob and the freq tried.

2013-11-11perf tests: Check return of perf_evlist__open sw clock event period testArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We were not checking if we successfully opened the counters, i.e. if sys_perf_event_open worked, when it doesn't in this test, we were continuing anyway and then segfaulting when trying to access the file descriptor array, that at that point had been freed in perf_evlist__open error path: [root@ssdandy ~]# perf test -v 19 19: Test software clock events have valid period values : --- start --- Segmentation fault (core dumped) [root@ssdandy ~]# Do the check and bail out instead.

2013-11-11perf evsel: Remove idx parm from constructorArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need for passing the constructor for the common case. We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled, with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist, partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list. This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx setting.

2013-10-28perf tools: Fixup mmap event consumptionZhouyi Zhou
The tail position of the event buffer should only be modified after actually use that event. If not the event buffer could be invalid before use, and segment fault occurs when invoking perf top -G.
