Subject: [PATCH v2 10/11] perf test: Drop samples without an IP in the dlfilter test
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 17:08:48 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113200850.2803460-11-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113200850.2803460-1-acme@kernel.org>
Since v7.3 the kernel zeroes PERF_SAMPLE_IP when a userspace-only event
skids into kernel mode, so that kernel register state is not exposed to
an unprivileged event (166f10836a653dfa "perf/core: Fix kernel register
info leak via hardware skid").
The test dlfilter keeps those samples, and the check that nothing but
test_loop survives then trips on their lines: the comm column reads
"perf". Drop them, which is what the test wants, everything except
test_loop must be filtered out.
Fixes: 199d5e872a9ce737 ("perf tests script dlfilter: Add a dlfilter test")
