Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] perf test: Hybrid improvements for metric value validation test
Date: Mon, 12 May 2025 11:47:00 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250512184700.11691-2-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250512184700.11691-1-irogers@google.com>
On my alderlake I currently see for the "perf metrics value validation" test:
```
Total Test Count: 142
Passed Test Count: 139
[
Metric Relationship Error: The collected value of metric ['tma_fetch_latency', 'tma_fetch_bandwidth', 'tma_frontend_bound']
is [31.137028] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
but expected value range is [tma_frontend_bound, tma_frontend_bound]
Relationship rule description: 'Sum of the level 2 children should equal level 1 parent',
Metric Relationship Error: The collected value of metric ['tma_memory_bound', 'tma_core_bound', 'tma_backend_bound']
is [6.564442] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
but expected value range is [tma_backend_bound, tma_backend_bound]
Relationship rule description: 'Sum of the level 2 children should equal level 1 parent',
Metric Relationship Error: The collected value of metric ['tma_light_operations', 'tma_heavy_operations', 'tma_retiring']
is [57.806179] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
but expected value range is [tma_retiring, tma_retiring]
Relationship rule description: 'Sum of the level 2 children should equal level 1 parent']
Metric validation return with erros. Please check metrics reported with errors.
```
I suspect it is due to two metrics for different CPU types being
enabled. Add a -cputype option to avoid this. The test still fails with:
```
Total Test Count: 115
Passed Test Count: 114
[
Wrong Metric Value Error: The collected value of metric ['tma_l2_hit_latency']
is [117.947088] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
but expected value range is [0, 100]]
Metric validation return with errors. Please check metrics reported with errors.
```
which is a reproducible genuine error and likely requires a metric fix.
