2025-12-02perf test: Add python JIT dump testNamhyung Kim1-0/+81
Add a test case for the python interpreter like below so that we can make sure it won't break again. To validate the effect of build-ID generation, it adds and removes the JIT'ed DSOs to/from the build-ID cache for the test. $ perf test -vv jitdump 84: python profiling with jitdump: --- start --- test child forked, pid 214316 Run python with -Xperf_jit [ perf record: Woken up 5 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.180 MB /tmp/__perf_test.perf.data.XbqZNm (140 samples) ] Generate JIT-ed DSOs using perf inject Add JIT-ed DSOs to the build-ID cache Check the symbol containing the script name Found 108 matching lines Remove JIT-ed DSOs from the build-ID cache ---- end(0) ---- 84: python profiling with jitdump : Ok Cc: Pablo Galindo <pablogsal@gmail.com> Link: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/perf_profiling.html#how-to-work-without-frame-pointers Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
2025-12-02perf test: Fix hybrid testing of event fallback testIan Rogers1-17/+2
The mem-loads-aux event exists on hybrid systems but the "cpu" PMU does not. This causes an event parsing error which erroneously makes the test look like it is failing. Avoid naming the PMU to avoid this. Rather than cleaning up perf.data in the directory the test is run, explicitly send the 'perf record' output to /dev/null and avoid any cleanup scripts.

2025-11-20perf test all metrics: Fully ignore Default metric failuresIan Rogers1-10/+17
Determine if a metric is default from `perf list --raw-dump $m` eg: ``` $ perf list --raw-dump l1_prefetch_miss_rate Default4 l1_prefetch_miss_rate ``` If a metric has "not supported" or "no supported events" then ignore these failures for default metrics. Tidy up the skip/fail messages in the output to make them easier to spot/read. ``` $ perf list -vv "all metrics" ...

2025-11-13perf test: Fix lock contention testRavi Bangoria1-5/+9
Couple of independent fixes: 1. Wire in SIGSEGV handler that terminates the test with a failure code. 2. Use "--lock-cgroup" instead of "-g"; "-g" was proposed but never merged. See commit 4d1792d0a2564caf ("perf lock contention: Add --lock-cgroup option") 3. Call cleanup() on every normal exit so trap_cleanup() doesn't mistake it for an unexpected signal and emit a false-negative "Unexpected signal in main" message.

2025-11-12perf test: Add a perf event fallback testZide Chen1-0/+86
This adds test cases to verify the precise ip fallback logic: - If the system supports precise ip, for an event given with the maximum precision level, it should be able to decrease precise_ip to find a supported level. - The same fallback behavior should also work in more complex scenarios, such as event groups or when PEBS is involved Additional fallback tests, such as those covering missing feature cases, can be added in the future.

2025-09-04perf test: Checking BPF metadata collection fails on version stringThomas Richter1-1/+1
commit edf2cadf01e8f ("perf test: add test for BPF metadata collection") fails consistently on the version string check. The perf version string on some of the constant integration test machines contains characters with special meaning in grep's extended regular expression matching algorithm. The output of perf version is: # perf version perf version 6.17.0-20250814.rc1.git20.24ea63ea3877.63.fc42.s390x+git # and the '+' character has special meaning in egrep command. Also the use of egrep is deprecated. Change the perf version string check to fixed character matching and get rid of egrep's warning being deprecated. Use grep -F instead.

The annotate test was sped up by Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> in commit 658a8805cb60 ("perf test: Speed up test case 70 annotate basic tests") by reducing the annotate output using head. This causes flakes on hybrid machines where the first event dumped may not have the samples for the test within it. Rather than reduce the output using `head` switch to `--percent-limit 10` which will stop annotate dumping functions that have an overhead of less than 10%, the noploop program should be using more. Add the missing objdump option for the pipe mode version of the objdump with a command test.

2025-06-26perf test: Change all remaining #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bashJames Clark41-41/+41
There are 43 instances of posix shell tests and 35 instances of bash. To give us a single consistent language for testing in, replace all #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. Common sources that are included in both different shells will now work as expected. And we no longer have to fix up bashisms that appear to work when someone's system has sh symlinked to bash, but don't work on other systems that have both shells installed. Although we could have chosen sh, it's not backwards compatible so it wouldn't be possible to bulk convert without re-writing the existing bash tests. Choosing bash also gives us some nicer features including 'local' variable definitions and regexes in if statements that are already widely used in the tests. It's not expected that there are any users with only sh available due to the large number of bash tests that exist.
