Subject: [PATCH 1/3] perf test: Skip 6.2 kernel for bpf-filter test
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2023 09:41:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230825164152.165610-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

The BPF sample filtering requires two kernel changes below:
 * bpf_cast_to_kernel_ctx() kfunc (added in v6.2)
 * setting perf_sample_data->sample_flags (finished in v6.3)

The perf tools can check bpf_cast_to_kernel_ctx() easily so it can
refuse BPF filters on those old kernels (v6.1 and earlier).  But
checking sample_flags appears to be difficult so current code won't
work on v6.2 kernel.  That's unfortunate but I don't know what's the
correct way to handle it.

For now, let's skip v6.2 kernels explicitly (if failed) in the test.

Fixes: 9575ecdd198a ("perf test: Add perf record sample filtering test")
