The struct perf_event_attr test (attr tests) support
|
|
====================================================
|
|
This testing support is embedded into perf directly and is governed
|
|
by the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable and hook inside the
|
|
sys_perf_event_open function.
|
|
|
|
The general idea is to store 'struct perf_event_attr' details for
|
|
each event created within single perf command. Each event details
|
|
are stored into separate text file. Once perf command is finished
|
|
these files are checked for values we expect for command.
|
|
|
|
The attr tests consist of following parts:
|
|
|
|
tests/attr.c
|
|
------------
|
|
This is the sys_perf_event_open hook implementation. The hook
|
|
is triggered when the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable is
|
|
defined. It must contain name of existing directory with access
|
|
and write permissions.
|
|
|
|
For each sys_perf_event_open call event details are stored in
|
|
separate file. Besides 'struct perf_event_attr' values we also
|
|
store 'fd' and 'group_fd' values to allow checking for groups.
|
|
|
|
tests/attr.py
|
|
-------------
|
|
This is the python script that does all the hard work. It reads
|
|
the test definition, executes it and checks results.
|
|
|
|
tests/attr/
|
|
-----------
|
|
Directory containing all attr test definitions.
|
|
Following tests are defined (with perf commands):
|
|
|
|
perf record kill (test-record-basic)
|
|
perf record -b kill (test-record-branch-any)
