[PATCH v1 0/5] perf test trace: Reduce test failures and make error messages verbose
Posted by Howard Chu 7 months ago
Currently, BTF tests fail constantly, this series fixes two major reasons
why they fail, and makes the error messages acquired when using '-vv'
more verbose, so when they fail, one can easily diagnose the problem.

Before:
    $ sudo /tmp/perf test enum -vv
    107: perf trace enum augmentation tests:
    107: perf trace enum augmentation tests                              : Running
    --- start ---
    test child forked, pid 783533
    Checking if vmlinux exists
    Tracing syscall landlock_add_rule
    Tracing non-syscall tracepoint syscall
    ---- end(-1) ----
    107: perf trace enum augmentation tests                              : FAILED!

After:
    $ sudo /tmp/perf test enum -vv
    107: perf trace enum augmentation tests:
    107: perf trace enum augmentation tests                              : Running
    --- start ---
    test child forked, pid 851658
    Checking if vmlinux exists
    Tracing syscall landlock_add_rule
    Tracing non-syscall tracepoint timer:hrtimer_setup,timer:hrtimer_start
    [tracepoint failure] Failed to trace tracepoint timer:hrtimer_setup,timer:hrtimer_start, output:
    event syntax error: 'timer:hrtimer_setup,timer:hrtimer_start'
			 \___ unknown tracepoint

    Error:  File /sys/kernel/tracing//events/timer/hrtimer_setup not found.
    Hint:   Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.

    Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

     Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
	or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
	or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
	or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

	-e, --event <event>   event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events---- end(-1) ----
    107: perf trace enum augmentation tests                              : FAILED!

Howard Chu (5):
  perf test trace: Use shell's -f flag to check if vmlinux exists
  perf test trace: Remove set -e and print trace test's error messages
  perf test trace: Stop tracing hrtimer_init event in trace enum test
  perf test trace: Remove set -e for BTF general tests
  perf test trace BTF: Use --sort-events in BTF general tests
