      perf test: Soft errors shouldn't stop the "Validate PERF_RECORD_" test · f71c49e5
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      For errors that don't preclude checking for further errors, aka "soft"
      errors, just  continue testing for other errors.
      
      Better coverage in verbose mode.

      perf test: Validate PERF_RECORD_ events and perf_sample fields · 3e7c439a
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      This new test will validate these new routines extracted from 'perf
      record':
      
       - perf_evlist__config_attrs
       - perf_evlist__prepare_workload
       - perf_evlist__start_workload
      
      In addition to several other perf_evlist methods.
      
      It consists of starting a simple workload, setting up just one event to
      monitor ("cycles") requesting that several PERF_SAMPLE_ fields be
      present in all events.
      
      It then will check that the expected PERF_RECORD_ events are produced
      and will sanity check all its fields.
      
      Some checks performed:
      
      . PERF_SAMPLE_TIME monotonically increases.
      
      . PERF_SAMPLE_CPU is the one requested with sched_setaffinity
      
      . PERF_SAMPLE_TID and PERF_SAMPLE_PID matches the one we forked
        in perf_evlist__prepare_workload and that is stored in
        evlist->workload.pid
      
      . For the events where these fields are also present in its
        pre-sample_id_all fields (e.g. event->mmap.pid), that they are what
        is expected too.
      
      . That we get a bunch of mmaps:
      
        PATH/libcSUFFIX
        PATH/ldSUFFIX
        [vdso]
        PATH/sleep
      
      Example:
      
        [root@emilia ~]# taskset -c 3,4 perf test -v1 perf_sample

      perf event: Introduce perf_event__fprintf · 482ad897
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      So that tools like 'perf test' can print the events when in verbose
      mode, for instance.
