Subject: [PATCH v1 0/5] perf test trace: Reduce test failures and make error messages verbose
Date: Sat, 17 May 2025 09:32:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250517163230.1237469-1-howardchu95@gmail.com> (raw)
Currently, BTF tests fail constantly, this series fixes two major reasons
why they fail, and makes the error messages acquired when using '-vv'
more verbose, so when they fail, one can easily diagnose the problem.
Before:
$ sudo /tmp/perf test enum -vv
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests:
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests : Running
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 783533
Checking if vmlinux exists
Tracing syscall landlock_add_rule
Tracing non-syscall tracepoint syscall
---- end(-1) ----
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests : FAILED!
After:
$ sudo /tmp/perf test enum -vv
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests:
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests : Running
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 851658
Checking if vmlinux exists
Tracing syscall landlock_add_rule
Tracing non-syscall tracepoint timer:hrtimer_setup,timer:hrtimer_start
[tracepoint failure] Failed to trace tracepoint timer:hrtimer_setup,timer:hrtimer_start, output:
event syntax error: 'timer:hrtimer_setup,timer:hrtimer_start'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/tracing//events/timer/hrtimer_setup not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events---- end(-1) ----
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests : FAILED!
Howard Chu (5):
perf test trace: Use shell's -f flag to check if vmlinux exists
perf test trace: Remove set -e and print trace test's error messages
perf test trace: Stop tracing hrtimer_init event in trace enum test
perf test trace: Remove set -e for BTF general tests
perf test trace BTF: Use --sort-events in BTF general tests
