2025-03-07perf tests: Fix data symbol test with LTO buildsIan Rogers
With LTO builds, although regular builds could also see this as all the code is in one file, the datasym workload can realize the buf1.reserved data is never accessed. The compiler moves the variable to bss and only keeps the data1 and data2 parts as separate variables. This causes the symbol check to fail in the test. Make the variable volatile to disable the more aggressive optimization. Rename the variable to make which buf1 in perf is being referred to. Before: $ perf test -vv "data symbol" 126: Test data symbol: --- start --- test child forked, pid 299808 perf does not have symbol 'buf1' perf is missing symbols - skipping test ---- end(-2) ---- 126: Test data symbol : Skip $ nm perf|grep buf1 0000000000a5fa40 b buf1.0 0000000000a5fa48 b buf1.1 After: $ nm perf|grep buf1 0000000000a53a00 d buf1 $ perf test -vv "data symbol"126: Test data symbol: --- start --- test child forked, pid 302166 a53a00-a53a39 l buf1 perf does have symbol 'buf1' Recording workload...

We'll use it to add a regression test for the BTF augmentation of enum arguments for tracepoints in 'perf trace': root@x1:~# perf trace -e landlock_add_rule perf test -w landlock 0.000 ( 0.009 ms): perf/747160 landlock_add_rule(ruleset_fd: 11, rule_type: LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH, rule_attr: 0x7ffd8e258594, flags: 45) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) 0.011 ( 0.002 ms): perf/747160 landlock_add_rule(ruleset_fd: 11, rule_type: LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT, rule_attr: 0x7ffd8e2585a0, flags: 45) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) root@x1:~# Committer notes: It was agreed on the discussion (see Link below) to shorten then name of the workload from 'landlock_add_rule' to 'landlock', and I moved it to a separate patch. Also, to address a build failure from Namhyung, I stopped loading linux/landlock.h and instead added the used defines, enums and types to make this build in older systems. All we want is to emit the syscall and intercept it.

2024-06-24perf test: Make test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh more robustJames Clark
The 2 second sleep can cause the test to fail on very slow network file systems because Perf ends up being killed before it finishes starting up. Fix it by making the leafloop workload end after a fixed time like the other workloads so there is no need to kill it after 2 seconds. Also remove the 1 second start sampling delay because it is similarly fragile. Instead, search through all samples for a matching one, rather than just checking the first sample and hoping it's in the right place.

2024-04-12perf tests: Make "test data symbol" more robust on Neoverse N1James Clark
To prevent anyone from seeing a test failure appear as a regression and thinking that it was caused by their code change, insert some noise into the loop which makes it immune to sampling bias issues (errata 1694299). The "test data symbol" test can fail with any unrelated change that shifts the loop into an unfortunate position in the Perf binary which is almost impossible to debug as the root cause of the test failure. Ultimately it's caused by the referenced errata.

2023-11-27perf test: Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failuresNick Forrington
The current use of atomics can lead to test failures, as tests (such as tests/shell/record.sh) search for samples with "test_loop" as the top-most stack frame, but find frames related to the atomic operation (e.g. __aarch64_ldadd4_relax). This change simply removes the "count" variable, as it is not necessary.

2022-11-23perf test: Add 'datasym' test workloadNamhyung Kim
The datasym workload is to check if perf mem command gets the data addresses precisely. This is needed for data symbol test. $ perf test -w datasym I had to keep the buf1 in the data section, otherwise it could end up in the BSS and was mmaped as a separate //anon region, then it was not symbolized at all. It needs to be fixed separately.

This is needed for ARM SPE fork test. $ perf test -w sqrtloop It can take an optional argument to specify how long it will run in seconds (default: 1). Committer notes: Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where the compiler complains it isn't being used. And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination. Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible with it.
