perf test: Use cycles event in perf record test for leader_sampling

2025-02-04T19:36:14Z

On s390 the event instructions can not be used for recording. This event is only supported by perf stat. Change the event from instructions to cycles in subtest test_leader_sampling.

perf test: Fix perf record test for precise_max

2025-02-04T19:34:25Z

On s390 the event instructions can not be used for recording. This event is only supported by perf stat. Test that each event cycles and instructions supports sampling. If the event can not be sampled, skip it.

perf tests: Make leader sampling test work without branch event

2024-11-16T19:30:39Z

Arm a57 only has speculative branch events so this test fails there. The test doesn't depend on branch instructions so change it to instructions which is pretty much guaranteed to be everywhere. The test_branch_counter() test above already tests for the existence of the branches event and skips if its not present.

perf test: Tag parallel failing shell tests with "(exclusive)"

2024-10-28T16:32:58Z

Some shell tests compete for resources and so can't run with other tests, tag such tests. The "(exclusive)" stems from shared/exclusive to describe how the tests run as if holding a lock.

It's a very simply test just to run with cycles:P and instructions:P events.

perf test: Speed up some tests using perf list

2024-10-17T16:55:58Z

On my system, perf list is very slow to print the whole events. I think there's a performance issue in SDT and uprobes event listing. I noticed this issue while running perf test on x86 but it takes long to check some CoreSight event which should be skipped quickly. Anyway, some test uses perf list to check whether the required event is available before running the test. The perf list command can take an argument to specify event class or (glob) pattern. But glob pattern is only to suppress output for unmatched ones after checking all events. In this case, specifying event class is better to reduce the number of events it checks and to avoid buggy subsystems entirely. No functional changes intended.

perf test record.sh: Raise limit of open file descriptors

2024-08-14T15:55:48Z

Subtest for system-wide record with '--threads=cpu' option fails due to a limit of open file descriptors on systems with 128 or more CPUs as the default limit is set to 1024. The number of open file descriptors should be slightly above nmb_events*nmb_cpus + nmb_cpus(for perf.data.n) + 4*nmb_cpus(for pipes), which equals 8*nmb_cpus. Therefore, temporarily raise the limit to 16*nmb_cpus for the test. Committer notes: Instead of disabling ShellCheck warnings all the uses of 'uname -n', i.e. those: In tests/shell/record.sh line 35: default_fd_limit=$(ulimit -Sn) ^-^ SC3045 (warning): In POSIX sh, ulimit -S is undefined. We can just switch from using '/bin/sh' to '/bin/bash' for this test, as bash _has_ 'ulimit -n', so ShellCheck will not emit that warning. There are dozens of 'perf test' shell tests that do just that, '/bin/bash' is a reasonable expectation for those tests.
