Subject: [PATCH] selftests/powerpc: PMU libs: use signed long to read perf_event_paranoid
Date: Tue,  1 Mar 2016 15:26:36 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456806396-27432-1-git-send-email-cyrilbur@gmail.com> (raw)

Excerpt from man 2 perf_event_open:

/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
  The perf_event_paranoid file can be set to restrict access to the
  performance counters.
    2 allow only user-space measurements.
    1 allow both kernel and user measurements (default).
    0 allow access to CPU-specific data but not raw tracepoint samples.
   -1 no restrictions.

require_paranoia_below() should return 0 if perf_event_paranoid is below a
specified level, the value from perf_event_paranoid is read into an
unsigned long so the incorrect value is returned when perf_event_paranoid
is set to -1.

Without this patch applied there is the same number of selftests/powerpc
which skip when /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 1 or -1 but
no skips when set to zero.
With this patch applied there no skipped selftests/powerpc test when
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid is set to 0 or -1.
