On linux-next tree 'perf test 95' ("Check branch stack sampling") was
added recently.
s390 does not support branch sampling at all and the test case fails
despite for checking branch support before hand.
The check for support of branching uses the software event named "dummy",
as seen in the line:
perf record -b -o- -e dummy -B true > /dev/null 2>&1 || exit 2
However when the branch recording is actually done, a different event is
used, as seen in the line:
perf record -o $TMPDIR/... --branch-filter any,save_type,u -- ...
The event is omitted and for "perf record" the default event is cycles,
which is not supported by s390 and this fails when executed on s390:
# perf record --branch-filter any,save_type,u -- /tmp/__perf_test.program.iDSmQ/a.out
Error:
cycles: PMU Hardware or event type doesn't support branch stack sampling.
#
Therefore fix this and use the same event cycles for testing support
and actually running the test.
Output before:
# ./perf test -Fv 95
95: Check branch stack sampling :
--- start ---
Testing user branch stack sampling
---- end ----
Check branch stack sampling: FAILED!
#
Output after:
# ./perf test -Fv 95

Perf test case 83: perf stat CSV output linter might fail
on s390.
The reason for this is the output of the command
./perf stat -x, -A -a --no-merge true
which depends on a .config file setting. When CONFIG_SCHED_TOPOLOGY
is set, the output of above perf command is
CPU0,1.50,msec,cpu-clock,1502781,100.00,1.052,CPUs utilized
When CONFIG_SCHED_TOPOLOGY is *NOT* set the output of above perf
command is
0.95,msec,cpu-clock,949800,100.00,1.060,CPUs utilized
Fix the test case to accept both output formats.

perf test -F 83 ("perf stat CSV output linter") fails on s390.
Reason is the wrong number of fields for certain CPU core/die/socket
related output.
On x84_64 the output of command:
# ./perf stat -x, -A -a --no-merge true
CPU0,1.50,msec,cpu-clock,1502781,100.00,1.052,CPUs utilized
CPU1,1.48,msec,cpu-clock,1476113,100.00,1.034,CPUs utilized
...
results in 8 fields with 7 comma separators.
On s390 the output of command:
# ./perf stat -x, -A -a --no-merge -- true
0.95,msec,cpu-clock,949800,100.00,1.060,CPUs utilized
...
results in 7 fields with 6 comma separators. Therefore this tests
fails on s390. Similar issues exist for per-die and per-socket output
which is not supported on s390.
I have rewritten the python program to count commas in each output line
into a bash function to achieve the same result. I hope this makes it a
bit easier.

This should be:

Perf BPF filter test fails in environment where "clang" is not
installed.

Hint: Try to install latest clang/llvm to support BPF.

<<logs_here>>
Failed to compile test case: 'Basic BPF llvm compile'
Unable to get BPF object, fix kbuild first
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
BPF filter subtest 2: FAILED!
<<>>
Here subtests, "BPF pinning" and "BPF prologue generation" failed and
logs shows clang/llvm is needed. After installing clang, testcase
passes.
Reason on why subtest failure happens though logs has proper debug
information:
Main function __test__bpf calls test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj by
passing 4th argument as true ( 4th arguments maps to parameter
"force" in test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj ). But this will cause
test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj to skip the check for clang/llvm.
Snippet of code part which checks for clang based on
parameter "force" in test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj:
<<>>
if (!force && (!llvm_param.user_set_param &&
<<>>
Since force is set to "false", test won't get skipped and fails to
compile test case. The BPF code compilation needs clang, So pass the
fourth argument as "false" and also skip the test if reason for return
is "TEST_SKIP"
After the patch:
<<>>
42: BPF filter :
42.1: Basic BPF filtering : Skip
42.2: BPF pinning : Skip
42.3: BPF prologue generation : Skip

The session topology test fails in powerpc pSeries platform.
Test logs:
<<>>
Session topology : FAILED!
<<>>
This testcases tests cpu topology by checking the core_id and socket_id
stored in perf_env from perf session. The data from perf session is
compared with the cpu topology information from
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology" like core_id,
physical_package_id.
In case of virtual environment, detail like physical_package_id is
restricted to be exposed. Hence physical_package_id is set to -1. The
testcase fails on such platforms since socket_id can't be fetched from
topology info.
Skip the testcase in powerpc if physical_package_id returns -1.

"perf all PMU test" picks the input events from "perf list --raw-dump
pmu" list and runs "perf stat -e" for each of the event in the list. 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 and
respective event. CPM_ADJUNCT_INST needs have core value and domain
value. hv_gpci event needs partition_id. Similarly, there are other
events for hv_24x7 and hv_gpci having "?" in event format. Hence skip
these events on powerpc platform since values like partition_id, domain
is specific to system and event.

Test case 71 'Convert perf time to TSC' is not supported on s390.
Subtest 71.1 is skipped with the correct message, but subtest 71.2 is
not skipped and fails.
The root cause is function evlist__open() called from
test__perf_time_to_tsc(). evlist__open() returns -ENOENT because the
event cycles:u is not supported by the selected PMU, for example
platform s390 on z/VM or an x86_64 virtual machine.
The PMU driver returns -ENOENT in this case. This error is leads to the
failure.
Fix this by returning TEST_SKIP on -ENOENT.
