perf tests: test_arm_coresight: Simplify source iteration

2023-10-26T17:58:10+00:00

There are two reasons to do this, firstly there is a shellcheck warning
in cs_etm_dev_name(), which can be completely deleted. And secondly the
current iteration method doesn't support systems with both ETE and ETM
because it picks one or the other. There isn't a known system with this
configuration, but it could happen in the future.

Iterating over all the sources for each CPU can be done by going through
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm/cpu* and following the symlink back
to the Coresight device in /sys/bus/coresight/devices. This will work
whether the device is ETE, ETM or any future name, and is much simpler
and doesn't require any hard coded version numbers

libperf rc_check: Add RC_CHK_EQUAL

2023-10-25T20:37:22+00:00

Comparing pointers with reference count checking is tricky to avoid a
SEGV. Add a convenience macro to simplify and use.

tools/perf/tests: Fix object code reading to skip address that falls out of text section

2023-10-05T05:28:07+00:00

The testcase "Object code reading" fails in somecases
for "fs_something" sub test as below:

    Reading object code for memory address: 0xc008000007f0142c
    File is: /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
    On file address is: 0x1114cc
    Objdump command is: objdump -z -d --start-address=0x11142c --stop-address=0x1114ac /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
    objdump read too few bytes: 128
    test child finished with -1

This can alo be reproduced when running perf record with
workload that exercises fs_something() code. In the test
setup, this is exercising xfs code since root is xfs.

    # perf record ./a.out
    # perf report -v |grep "xfs.ko"
      0.76% a.out /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko  0xc008000007de5efc B [k] xlog_cil_commit
      0.74% a.out  /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko  0xc008000007d5ae18 B [k] xfs_btree_key_offset
      0.74% a.out  /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko  0xc008000007e11fd4 B [k] 0x0000000000112074

Here addr "0xc008000007e11fd4" is not resolved. since this is a
kernel module, its offset is from the DSO. Xfs module is loaded
at 0xc008000007d00000

   # cat /proc/modules | grep xfs
    xfs 2228224 3 - Live 0xc008000007d00000

And size is 0x220000. So its loaded between  0xc008000007d00000
and 0xc008000007f20000. From objdump, text section is:
    text 0010f7bc  0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000a0 2**4

Hence perf captured ip maps to 0x112074 which is:
( ip - start of module ) + a0

This offset 0x112074 falls out .text section which is up to 0x10f7bc
In this case for module, the address 0xc008000007e11fd4 is pointing
to stub instructions. This address range represents the module stubs
which is allocated on module load and hence is not part of DSO offset.

To address this issue in "object code reading", skip the sample if
address falls out of text section and is within the module end.
Use the "text_end" member of "struct dso" to do this check.

To address this issue in "perf report", exploring an option of
having stubs range as part of the /proc/kallsyms, so that perf
report can resolve addresses in stubs range

However this patch uses text_end to skip the stub range for
Object code reading testcase.

perf test: Avoid system wide when not privileged

2023-10-05T05:28:07+00:00

Switch the test program to sleep that makes more sense for system wide
events. Only enable system wide when root or not paranoid. This avoids
failures under some testing conditions like ARM cloud.

perf test: Fix parse-events tests to skip parametrized events

2023-09-28T04:11:53+00:00

Testcase "Parsing of all PMU events from sysfs" parse events for
all PMUs, and not just cpu. In case of powerpc, the PowerVM
environment supports events from hv_24x7 and hv_gpci PMU which
is of example format like below:

- hv_24x7/CPM_ADJUNCT_INST,domain=?,core=?/
- hv_gpci/event,partition_id=?/

The value for "?" needs to be filled in depending on system
configuration. It is better to skip these parametrized events
in this test as it is done in:
'commit b50d691e50e6 ("perf test: Fix "all PMU test" to skip
parametrized events")' which handled a simialr instance with
"all PMU test".

Fix parse-events test to skip parametrized events since
it needs proper setup of the parameters.
