Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 2/2] selftests/bpf: Cover bpftool ring buffer event_pipe
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 10:51:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911025114.190899-3-diannaaav@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911025114.190899-1-diannaaav@gmail.com>
From: Tianyi Chen <hi@tychen.cc>
Produce known ring buffer records and check complete plain, JSON and
pretty JSON output. Exercise ID and pinned map selection, SIGINT and
SIGTERM shutdown, empty streams and invalid map types or selectors.
Also produce a perf event sample and check its existing header and raw
payload output. Use a payload whose size plus the raw sample length
field is aligned to eight bytes so the expected bytes exclude implicit
perf padding.
