https://github.com/beaker-project/restraint/issues/215 describes a file
descriptor leak which revealed the test failure described here.
The 'DSO data reopen' perf test assumes that RLIMIT_NOFILE limits the
number of open file descriptors, but it actually limits newly opened
file descriptors. When the file descriptor limit is reduced, file
descriptors already open remain open regardless of the new limit. This
test failure does not occur if open file descriptors are contiguous,
beginning at zero.
The following command triggers this perf test failure.
perf test 'DSO data reopen' 3>/dev/null 8>/dev/null
This patch determines the file descriptor limit by opening four files
and then closing them. The limit is set to the fourth file descriptor,
leaving only the first three available because any newly opened file
descriptor must be less than the limit.

Move evsel::leader to perf_evsel::leader, so we can move the group
interface to libperf.
Also add several evsel helpers to ease up the transition:
struct evsel *evsel__leader(struct evsel *evsel);
- get leader evsel
bool evsel__has_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
- true if evsel has leader as leader
bool evsel__is_leader(struct evsel *evsel);
- true if evsel is itw own leader
void evsel__set_leader(struct evsel *evsel, struct evsel *leader);
- set leader for evsel
Committer notes:
Fix this when building with 'make BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1'

This test case fails on s390 virtual machine z/VM which has no PMU support
when the perf tool is built with LIBPFM4=1.
Using make LIBPFM4=1 builds the perf tool with support for libpfm
event notation. The command line flag --pfm-events is valid:
# ./perf record --pfm-events cycles -- true
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
#
However the command 'perf test -Fv 17' fails on s390 z/VM virtual machine
with LIBPFM4=1:
# perf test -Fv 17
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr :
--- start ---
.....
running './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
running './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period'
expected exclude_hv=0, got 1
FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period' - match failure
---- end ----
Setup struct perf_event_attr: FAILED!
When --pfm-event system is not supported, the test returns unsupported
and continues. Here is an example using a virtual machine on x86 and
Fedora 34:
[root@f33 perf]# perf test -Fv 17
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr :
--- start ---
.....
running './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
running './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period'
unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period'
....
The issue is file ./tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period
which requires perf event attribute member exclude_hv to be zero.
This is not the case on s390 where the value of exclude_hv is one when
executing on a z/VM virtual machine without PMU hardware support.
Fix this by allowing value exlucde_hv to be zero or one.
Output before:
# /usr/bin/python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -t \
test-record-pfm-period -p ./perf -vvv 2>&1| fgrep match
matching [event:base-record]
match: [event:base-record] matches []

#
Output after:
# /usr/bin/python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -t \

matching [event:base-record]
match: [event:base-record] matches ['event-1-0-6', 'event-1-0-5']
matched
Background:
Using libpfm library ends up in this function call sequence
pfm_get_perf_event_encoding()
+-- pfm_get_os_event_encoding()
+-- pfmlib_perf_event_encode()
is called when no hardware specific PMU unit can be detected
as in the s390 z/VM virtual machine case. This uses the
"perf_events generic PMU" data structure which sets exclude_hv
to 1 per default. Using this PMU that test case always fails.
That is the reason why exclude_hv attribute setting varies.
Version 2:
As suggested by Ian Rogers make perf_event_attribute member
exclude_hv more robust and accept value 0 or 1 to handle more
test cases which might fail on s390 virtual machine z/VM.

Compiling perf with make LIBPFM4=1 includes libpfm support and
enables test case 63 'Test libpfm4 support'. This test reports an error
on all platforms for subtest 63.2 'test groups of --pfm-events'.
The reported error message is 'nested event groups not supported'
# ./perf test -F 63
63: Test libpfm4 support :
63.1: test of individual --pfm-events :
Error:

Error:

Error:

event not found
Ok
#
This patch addresses the error message 'nested event groups not supported'.
The root cause is function parse_libpfm_events_option() which parses the
event string '{},{instructions}' and can not handle a leading empty
group notation '{},...'.
The code detects the first (empty) group indicator '{' but does not
terminate group processing on the following group closing character '}'.
So when the second group indicator '{' is detected, the code assumes
a nested group and returns an error.
With the error message fixed, also change the expected event number to
one for the test case to succeed.
While at it also fix a memory leak. In good case the function does not
free the duplicated string given as first parameter.

To use in automated tests inside containers from a tarball generated
by 'make perf-tar-src-pkg*', where testing building from a tarball
is obviously not needed, so add a 'build-test-tarball' for that case.
And don't build with gtk2 as this complicates things for cross builds
where we don't always have all the libraries a full perf build requires
available for the target arch, ditto for static builds.

When executing the daemon test on Arm64 and x86 with Debian (Buster)
distro, both skip the test case with the log:
# ./perf test -v 76
76: daemon operations :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 11687
test daemon list
trap: SIGINT: bad trap
./tests/shell/daemon.sh: 173: local: cpu-clock: bad variable name
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
daemon operations: Skip
So the error happens for the variable expansion when use local variable
in the shell script. Since Debian Buster uses dash but not bash as
non-interactive shell, when execute the daemon testing, it hits a known
issue for dash which was reported [1].
To resolve this issue, one option is to add double quotes for all local
variables assignment, so need to change the code from:
local line=`perf daemon --config ${config} -x: | head -2 | tail -1`
... to:
local line="`perf daemon --config ${config} -x: | head -2 | tail -1`"
But the testing script has bunch of local variables, this leads to big
changes for whole script.
On the other hand, the testing script asks to use the "local" feature
which is bash-specific, so this patch explicitly uses "#!/bin/bash" to
ensure running the script with bash.
After:
# ./perf test -v 76

For some time now the 'perf test 42: BPF filter' returns an error on bpf
relocation subtest, at least on x86 and s390. This is caused by
d859900c4c ("bpf, libbpf: support global data/bss/rodata sections")
which introduces support for global variables in eBPF programs.
Perf test 42.4 checks that the eBPF relocation fails when the eBPF program
contains a global variable. It returns OK when the eBPF program
could not be loaded and FAILED otherwise.
With above commit the test logic for the eBPF relocation is obsolete.
The loading of the eBPF now succeeds and the test always shows FAILED.
This patch removes the sub test completely.
Also a lot of eBPF program testing is done in the eBPF test suite,
it also contains tests for global variables.
Output before:
42: BPF filter :
42.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
42.2: BPF pinning : Ok
42.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok
