Subject: [PATCH] perf test: probe_vfs_getname add do_getname() probing fallback
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:55:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416125515.3481495-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The following tests are skipped for some time now on platforms
s390 and x86_64:
# perf test vfs_getname
138: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
140: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
154: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : Skip
#
This is caused by a change in kernel code of function
getname_flags(), see
commit 9fa3ec84587c ("allow incomplete imports of filenames")
This commit changed the function getname_flags() implementation.
Now the perf probe 'vfs_getname parameter=xxx' does not match any
more. Extend the test logic to fall back to probing do_getname().
This reflects the updated kernel code.
Output after:
# perf test vfs_getname
138: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
140: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
154: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : Ok
