From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Chen Cao Subject: [Autotest PATCH - updated with current tree] KVM test: Add perfmon into the guest tests Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 17:30:19 +0800 Message-ID: <20100527092804.7588.85143.stgit@dhcp-91-198.nay.redhat.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: kvm@vger.kernel.org To: lmr@redhat.com, autotest@test.kernel.org Return-path: Received: from mx1.redhat.com ([209.132.183.28]:44360 "EHLO mx1.redhat.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S933159Ab0E0Jau (ORCPT ); Thu, 27 May 2010 05:30:50 -0400 Sender: kvm-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: perfmon2 API provides access to the hardware performance counters of modern processors. Dependency, To compile the source code of the test, the following packages should be installed, glibc-static-2.11.1-6.x86_64 glibc-headers-2.11.1-6.x86_64 glibc-common-2.11.1-6.x86_64 glibc-devel-2.11.1-6.x86_64 glibc-2.11.1-6.x86_64 Note, 1. libpfm uses the Performance Monitor Unit (PMU) on the processors, but this unit is not provided by kvm currently, i.e. the test should fail in kvm guests. And this test can be used as a reminder that kvm still lack the PMU virtualization. 2. According to the README file of perfmon-tests-0.3, 2.6.24 or higer Linux kernel (with perfmon v2.8 or higher) is needed to run the tests.
