David Ahern 610723f24e perf script: Make printing of dso a separate field option
The 'sym' option displays both the function name and the DSO it comes
from. Split the display of the dso into a separate option.  This allows
display of the ip address and symbol without the dso, thus shortening
line lengths - and decluttering the output a bit.

David Ahern 787bef174f perf script: "sym" field really means show IP data
Currently the "sym" output field is used to dump instruction pointers
and callchain stack. Sample addresses can also be converted to symbols,
so the meaning of "sym" needs to be fixed. This patch adds an "ip"
option and if it is selected the user can also opt to dump symbols for
them. If the user opts to dump IP without syms only the address is
shown.

David Ahern 2cee77c450 perf stat: clarify unsupported events from uncounted events
perf stat continues running even if the event list contains counters
that are not supported. The resulting output then contains <not counted>
for those events which gets confusing as to which events are supported,
but not counted and which are not supported.

Steven Rostedt 4da46da2d2 ktest: Fix result of rebooting the kernel
The command that is called that reboots the kernel may fail
but the return code is not passed back to the ktest.pl script.
This is because a ';' is used between the two commands and
if the second command fails, only the first command's return
code is returned. Using a '&&' between the two commands fixes
this.

are in fact two. Thus the result has a 50% chance of picking

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c2a70653af perf evlist: Don't die if sample_{id_all|type} is invalid
Fixes two more cases where the python binding would not load:

. Not finding die(), which it shouldn't anyway, not good to just stop the
  world because some particular perf.data file is invalid, just propagate
  the error to the caller.

. Not finding perf_sample_size: fix it by moving it from event.c to evsel,
  where it belongs, as most cases are moving to operate on an evsel object.o

One of the fixed problems:

[root@emilia ~]# python
>>> import perf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf/python/perf.so: undefined symbol: perf_sample_size

As we want to keep the objects linked in the python binding (and in the future
in a shared library) minimal.

David Ahern 4af4c9550c perf events: initialize fd array to -1 instead of 0
perf_evsel__alloc_fd allocates an array of file descriptors with the
memory initialized to 0. The array has dimensions for cpus and threads.

Later, __perf_evsel__open calls sys_perf_event_open for each cpu and thread
dimensions. If the open fails for any of the cpus or threads then the fd's
for this event are closed and the fd entry in the array is set to -1. Now,
if the first attempt fails for the event (e.g., the event is not supported)
the remaining dimensions (cpu > 0 and thread > 0) are not touched and left
at the initialized value of 0.

builtin-stat catches ENOENT and ENOSYS failures and allows the command to
continue. The end result is that stat attempts to read from an fd of 0 which
of course is stdin and so the command hangs until you type ctrl-D.

Resolve by initializing the array to -1 since an fd < 0 is already
handled.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo ec80fde746 perf symbols: Handle /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
Perf uses /proc/modules to figure out where kernel modules are loaded.

With the advent of kptr_restrict, non root users get zeroes for all module
start addresses.

So check if kptr_restrict is non zero and don't generate the syntethic
PERF_RECORD_MMAP events for them.

Warn the user about it in perf record and in perf report.

In perf report the reference relocation symbol being zero means that
kptr_restrict was set, thus /proc/kallsyms has only zeroed addresses, so don't
use it to fixup symbol addresses when using a valid kallsyms (in the buildid
cache) or vmlinux (in the vmlinux path) build-id located automatically or
specified by the user.

Provide an explanation about it in 'perf report' if kernel samples were taken,
checking if a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms was found/specified.

Restricted /proc/kallsyms don't go to the buildid cache anymore.

Example:

 [acme@emilia ~]$ perf record -F 100000 sleep 1

 WARNING: Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) are restricted, check
 /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict.

 Samples in kernel functions may not be resolved if a suitable vmlinux file is
 not found in the buildid cache or in the vmlinux path.

 Samples in kernel modules won't be resolved at all.

 If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved even
 with a suitable vmlinux or kallsyms file.

 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.005 MB perf.data (~231 samples) ]

 [acme@emilia ~]$ perf report --stdio
 Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted,
 check /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.

 If some relocation was applied (e.g. kexec) symbols may be misresolved.

 Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

This is because it found a suitable vmlinux (build-id checked) in
/lib/modules/2.6.39-rc7+/build/vmlinux (use -v in perf report to see the long
file name).

If we remove that file from the vmlinux path:

 Kernel address maps (/proc/{kallsyms,modules}) were restricted, check
 /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict before running 'perf record'.

 As no suitable kallsyms nor vmlinux was found, kernel samples can't be
 resolved.

 Samples in kernel modules can't be resolved as well.

Frederic Weisbecker 0f61f3e4db perf tools: Fix sample type size calculation in 32 bits archs
The shift used here to count the number of bits set in
the mask doesn't work above the low part for archs that
are not 64 bits.

Fix the constant used for the shift.

This fixes a 32-bit perf top failure reported by Eric Dumazet:

	Can't parse sample, err = -14
	Can't parse sample, err = -14

Frederic Weisbecker 998bedc8c5 perf tools: Fix ommitted mmap data update on remap
Commit eac9eacee1 "perf tools: Check we are able to read the event
size on mmap" brought a check to ensure we can read the size of the
event before dereferencing it, and do a remap otherwise to move the
buffer forward.

However that remap was ommitting all the necessary work to
update the new page offset, head, and to unmap previous pages,
etc...

To fix this, gather all the code that fetches the event in a
seperate helper which does all the necessary checks about the
header/event size and tells us anytime a remap is needed.

Linus Torvalds 268bb0ce3e sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage
Commit e66eed651f ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

   grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
   grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

Steven Rostedt 2a62512bce ktest: Allow options to be used by other options
There are cases where one ktest option may be used within another
ktest option. Allow them to be reused just like config variables
but there are evaluated at time of test not config processing time.

Thus having something like:

MAKE_CMD = make ARCH=${ARCH}

TEST_START
ARCH = powerpc

TEST_START
ARCH = arm

Will have the arch defined for each test iteration.

Steven Rostedt 77d942ceac ktest: Create variables for the ktest config files
I found that I constantly reuse information for each test case.
It would be nice to just define a variable to reuse.

For example I may have:

TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script

TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ssh root@mybox /path/to/my/script

[etc]

The issue is, I may wont to change that script or one of the other
fields. Then I need to update each line individually.

With the addition of config variables (variables only used during parsing
the config) we can simplify the config files. These variables can
also be defined multiple times and each time the new value will
overwrite the old value.

The convention to use a config variable over a ktest option is to use :=
instead of =.

Now we could do:

USER := root
TARGET := mybox
TEST_SCRIPT := /path/to/my/script
TEST_CASE := ${USER}@${TARGET} ${TEST_SCRIPT}

TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}

TEST_START
[...]
TEST = ${TEST_CASE}

[etc]

Now we just need to update the variables at the top.

Stephane Eranian 94692349c4 perf: Fix multi-event parsing bug
This patch fixes an issue with event parsing.
The following commit appears to have broken the
ability to specify a comma separated list of events:

   commit ceb53fbf6d
   Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
   Date:   Wed Apr 27 04:06:33 2011 +0200

       perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified

This patch fixes this while preserving the desired effect:

$ perf stat -e instructions:u,instructions:k ls /dev/null /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for 'ls /dev/null':

            365956 instructions:u           #    0.00  insns per cycle
            731806 instructions:k           #    0.00  insns per cycle

        0.001108862  seconds time elapsed

$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo aece948f5d perf evlist: Fix per thread mmap setup
The PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_OUTPUT ioctl was returning -EINVAL when using
--pid when monitoring multithreaded apps, as we can only share a ring
buffer for events on the same thread if not doing per cpu.

Fix it by using per thread ring buffers.

11 mmaps, one per thread since we didn't specify any CPU list, so we need one
mmap per thread and:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131

^C[ perf record: Woken up 79 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 20.614 MB perf.data (~900639 samples) ]

Ok, one of the threads, 26151 was quiescent, so no samples there, but all the
others are there.

Then, if I specify one CPU:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --pid 26131 --cpu 1
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.680 MB perf.data (~29730 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -nr | nl

     6	      9 661
     7	      9 29048
[root@felicio ~]#

This machine has two cores, so fewer threads appeared on the radar, and:

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
 1 7f484b922000-7f484b9a3000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064 anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#

Just one mmap, as now we can use just one per-cpu buffer instead of the
per-thread needed in the previous case.

For global profiling:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 -a
^C[ perf record: Woken up 26 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 7.128 MB perf.data (~311412 samples) ]

[root@felicio ~]# grep perf_event /proc/`pidof perf`/maps | nl
     1	7fb49b435000-7fb49b4b6000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]
     2	7fb49b4b6000-7fb49b537000 rwxs 00000000 00:09 4064                       anon_inode:[perf_event]
[root@felicio ~]#

It uses per-cpu buffers.

For just one thread:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record -F 50000 --tid 26148
^C[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.330 MB perf.data (~14426 samples) ]

Paul E. McKenney a26ac2455f rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread
If RCU priority boosting is to be meaningful, callback invocation must
be boosted in addition to preempted RCU readers.  Otherwise, in presence
of CPU real-time threads, the grace period ends, but the callbacks don't
get invoked.  If the callbacks don't get invoked, the associated memory
doesn't get freed, so the system is still subject to OOM.

But it is not reasonable to priority-boost RCU_SOFTIRQ, so this commit
moves the callback invocations to a kthread, which can be boosted easily.

Also add comments and properly synchronized all accesses to
rcu_cpu_kthread_task, as suggested by Lai Jiangshan.

Ingo Molnar ede7029004 perf stat: Fix compatibility behavior
Instead of failing on an unknown event, when new perf stat is run on
older kernels:

  Error: open_counter returned with 22 (Invalid argument). /bin/dmesg

We dropped cache-refs and cache-misses and added stalled-cycles - this is a
more generic "how well utilized is the CPU" metric.

If the stalled-cycles ratio is too high then more specific measurements can be
taken to figure out the source of the inefficiency.

Right now we display this by default:

The task-clock-msecs event cannot actually be passed back as an
event name, the event name we recognize is 'task-clock'.

So change the output of the cpu-clock and task-clock events
to be idempotent.

( Units should be printed out in the right-side column, if needed. )

Ingo Molnar ceb53fbf6d perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified
Currently we fail without printing any error message on "perf stat -e task-clock-msecs".

The reason is that the task-clock event is matched and the "-msecs" postfix is assumed
to be an event modifier - but is not recognized.

This patch changes the code to be more informative:

 $ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
 invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
 Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers

Ingo Molnar b908debd4e perf tools: Accept case-insensitive symbolic event variants
We currently fail on something like '-e CPU-migrations', with:

  invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations'

While 'CPU-migrations' is how we actually print out the event
in the default perf stat output:

 Performance counter stats for 'true':

          0.202204 task-clock-msecs         #      0.282 CPUs
                 0 context-switches         #      0.000 M/sec
                 0 CPU-migrations           #      0.000 M/sec

So change the matching to be case-insensitive.

David Ahern 9cbdb70209 perf script: improve validation of sample attributes for output fields
Check for required sample attributes using evsel rather than sample_type
in the session header. If the attribute for a default field is not
present for the event type (e.g., new command operating on file from
older kernel) the field is removed from the output list.

Expected event types must exist. For example, if a user specifies

  -f trace:time,trace -f sw:time,cpu,sym

the perf.data file must contain both tracepoints and software events
(ie., it is an error if either does not exist in the file).

Attribute checking is done once at the beginning of perf-script rather
than for each sample.

Michael Witten ced465c400 perf tools: Makefile: PYTHON{,_CONFIG} to bandage Python 3 incompatibility
Currently, Python 3 is not supported by perf's code; this
can cause the build to fail for systems that have Python 3
installed as the default python:

  python{,-config}

The Correct Solution is to write compatibility code so that
Python 3 works out-of-the-box.

However, users often have an ancillary Python 2 installed:

  python2{,-config}

Therefore, a quick fix is to allow the user to specify those
ancillary paths as the python binaries that Makefile should
use, thereby avoiding Python 3 altogether; as an added benefit,
the Python binaries may be installed in non-standard locations
without the need for updating any PATH variable.

This commit adds the ability to set PYTHON and/or PYTHON_CONFIG
either as environment variables or as make variables on the
command line; the paths may be relative, and usually only PYTHON
is necessary in order for PYTHON_CONFIG to be defined implicitly.
Some rudimentary error checking is performed when the user
explicitly specifies a value for any of these variables.

In addition, this commit introduces significantly robust makefile
infrastructure for working with paths and communicating with the
shell; it's currently only used for handling Python, but I hope
it will prove useful in refactoring the makefiles.

Thanks to:

  Raghavendra D Prabhu <rprabhu@wnohang.net>

  http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_10_02

It is only necessary to include the environment variable
assignment just before the command to be run.

Also, it is better to use single-quotes, because GNU make
might expand `$(BASIC_CFLAGS)' into something that the shell
could interpret within double-quotes.

Now it causes segment fault if 'a' is pressed on a null symbol.

Here are 2 small bugs:
- In perf_evsel__hists_browse, the condition check after 'a' is pressed
  is not correct, we should check ->sym instead of ->map.
- In symbol__tui_annotate we must check whether sym is NULL or not

Masami Hiramatsu 1d46ea2a6a perf probe: Fix listing incorrect line number with inline function
Fix a bug showing incorrect line number when a probe is put on the head of an
inline function. This patch updates find_perf_probe_point() and introduces new
rules to get correct line number.

 - If debuginfo doesn't have a correct file name, we shouldn't return line
   number too, because, without file name, line number is meaningless.

 - If the address is in a function, it stores the function name and the offset
   from the function entry.

   - If the address is on a line, it tries to get the relative line number from
     the function entry line, except for the address is same as the entry
     address of the function (in this case, the relative line number should
     be 0).

     - If the address is in an inline function entry (call-site), it uses the
       inline function call line number as the line on which the address is.

   - If the address is in an inline function body, it stores the inline
     function name and offset from the inline function call site instead of the
     (non-inlined) function.

Frederic Weisbecker 800cd25c12 perf: mmap 512 kiB by default
The default setting of perf record is to mmap 128 pages if the user
did not override with -m.

However the page size may vary accross different architecture
settings, giving different default size between each.

Moreover the kernel side still has a default max number of mlocked
pages of 512 kiB + 1 page for unprivileged users. 128 + 1 pages
with page size > 4096 overlaps this threshold.

Thus, better adapt to this limitation and set the default number of
pages to fit those 512 kiB + 1 page.

David Ahern 2c9e45f7a2 perf script: If type not given fields apply to all event types
Allow:
  perf script -f <fields>

to be equivalent to:
  perf script -f trace:<fields> -f sw:<fields> -f hw:<fields>

i.e., the specified fields apply to all event types if the type string
is not given.

The field (-f) arguments are processed in the order received. A later
usage can reset a prior request. e.g.,

  -f trace: -f comm,tid,time,sym

The first -f suppresses trace events (field list is ""), but then the second
invocation sets the fields to comm,tid,time,sym. In this case a warning is
given to the user:

  "Overriding previous field request for all events."

Alternativey, consider the order:

  -f comm,tid,time,sym -f trace:

The first -f sets the fields for all events and the second -f suppresses trace
events. The user is given a warning message about the override, and the result
of the above is that only S/W and H/W events are displayed with the given
fields.

For the 'wildcard' option if a user selected field is invalid for an event
type, a message is displayed to the user that the option is ignored for that
type. For example:

  perf script -f comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less
  'trace' not valid for hardware events. Ignoring.
  'trace' not valid for software events. Ignoring.

Alternatively, if the type is given an invalid field is specified it is an
error. For example:

    perf script -v -f sw:comm,tid,trace 2>&1 | less
    'trace' not valid for software events.

At this point usage is displayed, and perf-script exits.

Finally, a user may not set fields to none for all event types.
i.e., -f "" is not allowed.

David S. Miller 4d43951756 perf symbols: Properly align symbol_conf.priv_size
If symbol_conf.priv_size is not a multiple of "sizeof(u64)" we'll bus
error on sparc64 in symbol__new because the "struct symbol *" pointer
is computed by adding symbol_conf.priv_size to the memory allocated.

We cannot isolate the fix to symbol__new and symbol__delete since the
private area is computed by subtracting the priv_size value from a
"struct symbol" pointer, so then the private area can still be
potentially unaligned.

So, simply align the symbol_conf.priv_size value in symbol__init()

Resend of patch sent back in January 2011 in light of recent confusion around
unsupported events for a given platform.

Improve sys_perf_event_open ENOENT return handling in top and record, just
like 5a3446b does for stat.

Retry of Arnaldo's patch using ui_warning instead of die which allows the
fallback from hardware cycles to software clock.

Lin Ming cd25f8bc26 perf probe: Add fastpath to do lookup by function name
v3 -> v2:
- Make pubname_search_cb more generic
- Add fastpath to find_probes also

v2 -> v1:
- Don't compare file names with cu_find_realpath(...), instead, compare
  them with the name returned by dwarf_decl_file(sp_die)

The vmlinux file may have thousands of CUs.
We can lookup function name from .debug_pubnames section
to avoid the slow loop on CUs.

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo c286c419c7 perf tools: Fixup exit path when not able to open events
We have to deal with the TUI mode in perf top, so that we don't end up
with a garbled screen when, say, a non root user on a machine with a
paranoid setting (the default) tries to use 'perf top'.

Introduce a ui__warning_paranoid() routine shared by top and record that
tells the user the valid values for /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.

Andrew Lutomirski 6c6804fb2c perf symbols: Fix vsyscall symbol lookup
Perf can't currently trace into the vsyscall page.  It looks like it was
meant to work.

Tested on 2.6.38 and today's -git.

The bug is easy to reproduce.  Compile this:

int main()
{
	int i;
	struct timespec t;
	for(i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
		clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &t);
	return 0;
}

and run it through perf record; perf report.  The top entry shows
"[unknown]" and you can't zoom in.

It looks like there are two issues.  The first is a that a test for user
mode executing in kernel space is backwards.  (That's the first hunk
below).  The second (I think) is that something's wrong with the code
that generates lots of little struct dso objects for different sections
-- when it runs on vmlinux it results in bogus long_name values which
cause objdump to fail.

The original intent of the code was to repeat the search with
want_symtab = 0. But as the code stands now, we never hit the "default"
case of the switch statement. Which means we never repeat the search.

The a1645ce1 changeset:

"perf: 'perf kvm' tool for monitoring guest performance from host"

Added a field to struct build_id_event that broke the file format.

Since the kernel build-id is the first entry, process the table using
the old format if the well known '[kernel.kallsyms]' string for the
kernel build-id has the first 4 characters chopped off (where the pid_t
sits).

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 9e69c21082 perf session: Pass evsel in event_ops->sample()
Resolving the sample->id to an evsel since the most advanced tools,
report and annotate, and the others will too when they evolve to
properly support multi-event perf.data files.

Good also because it does an extra validation, checking that the ID is
valid when present. When that is not the case, the overhead is just a
branch + function call (perf_evlist__id2evsel).

Some versions of grep don't treat '\s' properly. When building perf on such
systems and using a kernel tarball the perf version is unable to be determined
from the main kernel Makefile and the user is left with a version of '..'.
Replacing the use of '\s' with '[[:space:]]', which should work in all grep
versions, gives a usable version number.

Ingo Molnar 5e814dd597 perf probe: Clean up probe_point_lazy_walker() return value
Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:

        return ret < 0 ?: 0;

For the following reason:

  util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’:
  util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]

And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses
GCC as well.

David Ahern 745f43e343 perf script: Support custom field selection for output
Allow a user to select which fields to print to stdout for event data.
Options include comm (command name), tid (thread id), pid (process id),
time (perf timestamp), cpu, event (for event name), and trace (for
trace data).

Default is set to maintain compatibility with current output; this
feature does alter output format slightly -- no '-' between command
and pid/tid.

Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for detailed suggestions on this approach.

Examples (output compressed)

1. trace, default format

perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script

swapper    0 [000] 537.037184: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0...
   sshd 1675 [000] 537.037309: sched_switch: prev_comm=sshd prev_pid=1675...
netstat 1692 [001] 537.038664: sched_switch: prev_comm=netstat prev_pid=1692...

2. trace, custom format

perf record -ga -e sched:sched_switch
perf script -f comm,pid,time,trace     <--- omitting cpu and event name

swapper    0 537.037184: prev_comm=swapper prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 ...

Jiri Olsa b9a46bba88 perf top: Fix events overflow in top command
The snprintf function returns number of printed characters even if it
cross the size parameter. So passing enough events via '-e' parameter
will cause segmentation fault.

It's reproduced by following command:

perf top -e `perf list | grep Tracepoint | awk -F'[' '\
{gsub(/[[:space:]]+/,"",$1);array[FNR]=$1}END{outputs=array[1];\
for (i=2;i<=FNR;i++){ outputs=outputs "," array[i];};print outputs}'`

Attached patch is adding SNPRINTF macro that provides the overflow check
and returns actuall number of printed characters.

Lin Ming 7ee235efe5 perf symbols: Avoid resolving [kernel.kallsyms] to real path for buildid cache
kallsyms has a virtual file name [kernel.kallsyms].  Currently, it can't
be added to buildid cache successfully because the code
(build_id_cache__add_s) tries to resolve [kernel.kallsyms] to a real
absolute pathname and that fails.

Fixes it by not resolving it and just use the name [kernel.kallsyms].
So dir ~/.debug/[kernel.kallsyms] is created.

The config STOP_AFTER_FAILURE is the number of seconds to continue

But the test had a bug. If the failure caused multiple
