Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Fix failing test case Session Topology
Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2025 14:06:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250128130647.4029185-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
Test case 37 Session topology fails on s390. I bisected this to
commit 05be17eed774 ("tool api fs: Correctly encode errno for read/write open failures")
When perf tool is invoked, it builds the perf.data file using the
following function sequence:
#0 has_die_topology () at util/cputopo.c:223
#1 cpu_topology__new () at util/cputopo.c:302
....
#9 0x00000000012a5c7a in perf_session__write_header (...)
at util/header.c:3774
#10 0x00000000011ccd64 in session_write_header (...)
at tests/topology.c:53
#11 0x00000000011cde9c in test__session_topology (...)
at tests/topology.c:215
#12 0x0000000001190276 in start_test (...)
The function has_die_topology() checks for existence of sys file
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/die_cpus_list
which does not exist on s390. This function returns false and
information for all CPU dies is omitted in the
perf data file section HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY.
Later on the test case reads the perf.data file back using
functions.
check_cpu_topology()
+--> perf_session__new()
the missing CPU die information in the HEADER_CPU_TOPOLOGY section
causes the id_die field set to 0 in the session->header.env.cpu[0].
Later on when the test case result is verified, the functions
test__session_topology()
+--> check_cpu_topology()
+--> aggr_cpu_id__cpu()
+--> aggr_cpu_id__core()
+--> aggr_cpu_id__cluster()
+--> aggr_cpu_id__die()
+--> cpu__get_topology_int()
+--> sysfs__read_int()
Function aggr_cpu_id__die() reads the die_id from the CPU's
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/die_id file entry.
This file does not exist and function
sysfs__read_int() now returns error number -2 (ENOENT).
Structure member id.die has value of -2.
This new return value of -2 bypasses this check in function
aggr_cpu_id__die():
/* There is no die_id on legacy system. */
if (die == -1)
die = 0;
and the test verification fails in:
TEST_ASSERT_VAL("Cpu map - Die ID doesn't match",
session->header.env.cpu[cpu.cpu].die_id == id.die)
Output before:
# ./perf test -F 37
37: Session topology : FAILED!
#
Output after:
# ./perf test -F 37
37: Session topology : Ok
#
