[BUG] perf test 29 crashing

[BUG] perf test 29 crashing

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
I'm having test 29 crashing on latest Arnaldo's perf/core:

[jolsa@krava perf]$ ./perf test hist
15: Test matching and linking multiple hists                 : Ok
25: Test filtering hist entries                              : Ok
28: Test output sorting of hist entries                      : Ok
29: Test cumulation of child hist entries                    : FAILED!

I was hunting this, because I though it was caused by one
of my local changes, but then realized it's public bug ;-)

but can't find the reason so far..

thanks,
jirka

Huh?

[acme@jouet linux]$ perf test 29
29: Test cumulation of child hist entries                    : Ok
[acme@jouet linux]$ perf --version
perf version 4.7.rc5.g1c1e35c

If this helps break the tie:

dsa@kenny:~/kernel.git$ /tmp/perf/perf test 29
29: Test cumulation of child hist entries                    : Ok

dsa@kenny:~/kernel.git$ /tmp/perf/perf --version
perf version 4.7.rc5.g02184c

But running on net-next kernel from a few days ago + 1 local patch:
dsa@kenny:~/kernel.git$ uname -r
4.7.0-rc2-00862-g23854048c919

(I do get a few other failures)

Running latest acme/perf/core:

  $ perf test hist
  15: Test matching and linking multiple hists                 : Ok

it was the setup in my .perfconfig:

[call-graph]
threshold=10

caused some of the callchains to disappear and screw the test,
I think we should make that test using default values, like in
attached patch

however maybe we should think about disabling ~/.perfconfig
overload for perf test at all

I'll post patch below with my other stuff if there are no
objection or another solution

thanks,

Did you find out why it caused a segfault?

Agree. The tests need a known config.

yep, the code of tests/hists_cumulate.c::do_test
expects each hist_entry to carry callchain,
and the option above cause only some of the
had it:

  do_test
  {

       root = &he->callchain->node.rb_root;
       cnode = rb_entry(rb_first(root), struct callchain_node, rb_node);

       c = 0;
       list_for_each_entry(clist, &cnode->val, list) {
       ^
       - root is empty, cnode is trash and this itaration segfaults

maybe we could also add check below

Yeah, tests expect things in a certain way, so shouldn't be affect by
local .perfconfig stuff, ignoring it in tests is the way to go.

But probably we should instead check if the subcommand is 'test' when
calling into perf_config(), no? I.e. Other tests may suffer from this
issue.
