Subject: [PATCH v7 00/14] perf: test: Add trace data quality tests for CoreSight

From: Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]>

This is a prelude to adding more tests to shell tests and in order to
support putting those tests into subdirectories, I need to change the
test code that scans/finds and runs them.

To support subdirs I have to recurse so it's time to refactor the code to
allow this and centralize the shell script finding into one location and
only one single scan that builds a list of all the found tests in memory
instead of it being duplicated in 3 places.

This code also optimizes things like knowing the max width of desciption
strings (as we can do that while we scan instead of a whole new pass
of opening files). It also more cleanly filters scripts to see only
*.sh files thus skipping random other files in directories like *~
backup files, other random junk/data files that may appear and the
scripts must be executable to make the cut (this ensures the script
lib dir is not seen as scripts to run). This avoids perf test running
previous older versions of test scripts that are editor backup files
as well as skipping perf.data files that may appear and so on.

Subject: [PATCH v7 04/14] perf test: Add asm pureloop test tool

From: Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]>

Add test tool to be driven by further test scripts. This tool is pure
arm64 ASM with no libc usage to ensure it is the same exact
binary/code every time so it can also be re-used for many uses. It
just loops for a given fixed number of loops.

Subject: [PATCH v7 05/14] perf test: Add asm pureloop test shell script

From: Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]>

Add a script to drive the asm pureloop test for arm64/CoreSight that
gathers data so it passes a minimum bar for amount and quality of
content that we extract from the kernel's perf support.

+================
+CoreSight - Perf
+================
+
+ :Author: Carsten Haitzler <[email protected]>
+ :Date: June 29th, 2022
+
+Perf is able to locally access CoreSight trace data and store it to the
+output perf data files. This data can then be later decoded to give the
+instructions that were traced for debugging or profiling purposes. You
+can log such data with a perf record command like::
+
+ perf record -e cs_etm//u testbinary
+
+This would run some test binary (testbinary) until it exits and record
+a perf.data trace file. That file would have AUX sections if CoreSight
+is working correctly. You can dump the content of this file as
+readable text with a command like::
+
+ perf report --stdio --dump -i perf.data
+
+You should find some sections of this file have AUX data blocks like::
+
+ 0x1e78 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x11dd0 offset: 0 ref: 0x1b614fc1061b0ad1 idx: 0 tid: 531230 cpu: -1
+
+ . ... CoreSight ETM Trace data: size 73168 bytes
+ Idx:0; ID:10; I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation.
+ Idx:12; ID:10; I_TRACE_INFO : Trace Info.; INFO=0x0 { CC.0 }
+ Idx:17; ID:10; I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000000000000000;
+ Idx:26; ID:10; I_TRACE_ON : Trace On.
+ Idx:27; ID:10; I_ADDR_CTXT_L_64IS0 : Address & Context, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000FFFFB6069140; Ctxt: AArch64,EL0, NS;
+ Idx:38; ID:10; I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+ Idx:39; ID:10; I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+ Idx:40; ID:10; I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+ Idx:41; ID:10; I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEN
+ ...
+
+If you see these above, then your system is tracing CoreSight data
+correctly.
+
+To compile perf with CoreSight support in the tools/perf directory do::
+
+ make CORESIGHT=1
+
+This requires OpenCSD to build. You may install distribution packages
+for the support such as libopencsd and libopencsd-dev or download it
+and build yourself. Upstream OpenCSD is located at:
+
+ https://github.com/Linaro/OpenCSD
+
+For complete information on building perf with CoreSight support and
+more extensive usage look at:
+
+ https://github.com/Linaro/OpenCSD/blob/master/HOWTO.md
+
+
+Kernel CoreSight Support
+------------------------
+
+You will also want CoreSight support enabled in your kernel config.
+Ensure it is enabled with::
+
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT=y
+
+There are various other CoreSight options you probably also want
+enabled like::
+
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_LINKS_AND_SINKS=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_LINK_AND_SINK_TMC=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CATU=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SINK_TPIU=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SINK_ETBV10=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CTI=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CTI_INTEGRATION_REGS=y
+
+Please refer to the kernel configuration help for more information.
+
+Perf test - Verify kernel and userspace perf CoreSight work
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+When you run perf test, it will do a lot of self tests. Some of those
+tests will cover CoreSight (only if enabled and on ARM64). You
+generally would run perf test from the tools/perf directory in the
+kernel tree. Some tests will check some internal perf support like:
+
+ Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples
+ Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples
+
+Some others will actually use perf record and some test binaries that
+are in tests/shell/coresight and will collect traces to ensure a
+minimum level of functionality is met. The scripts that launch these
+tests are in the same directory. These will all look like:
+
+ CoreSight / ASM Pure Loop
+ CoreSight / Memcpy 16k 10 Threads
+ CoreSight / Thread Loop 10 Threads - Check TID
+ etc.
+
+These perf record tests will not run if the tool binaries do not exist
+in tests/shell/coresight/*/ and will be skipped. If you do not have
+CoreSight support in hardware then either do not build perf with
+CoreSight support or remove these binaries in order to not have these
+tests fail and have them skip instead.
+
+These tests will log historical results in the current working
+directory (e.g. tools/perf) and will be named stats-\*.csv like:
+
+ stats-asm_pure_loop-out.csv
+ stats-memcpy_thread-16k_10.csv
+ ...
+
+These statistic files log some aspects of the AUX data sections in
+the perf data output counting some numbers of certain encodings (a
+good way to know that it's working in a very simple way). One problem
+with CoreSight is that given a large enough amount of data needing to
+be logged, some of it can be lost due to the processor not waking up
+in time to read out all the data from buffers etc.. You will notice
+that the amount of data collected can vary a lot per run of perf test.
+If you wish to see how this changes over time, simply run perf test
+multiple times and all these csv files will have more and more data
+appended to it that you can later examine, graph and otherwise use to
+figure out if things have become worse or better.
+
+This means sometimes these tests fail as they don't capture all the
+data needed. This is about tracking quality and amount of data
+produced over time and to see when changes to the Linux kernel improve
+quality of traces.
+
+Be aware that some of these tests take quite a while to run, specifically
+in processing the perf data file and dumping contents to then examine what
+is inside.
+
+You can change where these csv logs are stored by setting the
+PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_STATDIR environment variable before running perf
+test like::
+
+ export PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_STATDIR=/var/tmp
+ perf test
+
+They will also store resulting perf output data in the current
+directory for later inspection like::
+
+ perf-asm_pure_loop-out.data
+ perf-memcpy_thread-16k_10.data
+ ...
+
+You can alter where the perf data files are stored by setting the
+PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_DATADIR environment variable such as::
+
+ PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_DATADIR=/var/tmp
+ perf test
+
+You may wish to set these above environment variables if you wish to
+keep the output of tests outside of the current working directory for
+longer term storage and examination.

It seems you changed the subject on the cover letter, and AFAIK that is
what makes b4 find a previous version :-\

I also saw that several of your patches got reviewed and given
"Reviewed-by" tags, so if some of the patches in the previous versions
didn't change and received Reviewed-by tags, please collect them on the
current version.

Leo, can you please check if your previous Reviewed-by tags stand for
this new version?

I tried getting v5 to see if b4 would find v6 and v7 and go on figuring
this out for us, but somehow it can't match v5 to v6 and v7:

Yeah, after applied this patch series on the repo:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git, branch perf/core;
it has merging conflict for the patch 03 "perf test: Add build infra for perf
test tools for CoreSight tests". It's good to rebase this patch set on the
latest perf/core branch.

I compared patch set v5 and v7, confirmed the my comments have been addressed
in v7. Carsten also has updated patches' author address, it is same with the
address used in SoB, this is the right thing to do (Sorry I missed that).

I tested this patch set on my Juno board and observed a regression related with
CTI driver, the regression is not relevant with this patch set, I have
reported it on CoreSight mailing list. This will be investigated separatly.

When played these test cases, I observed a failure for below case; but when I
re-run the case again and it passed.

# ./perf test -v 78
78: CoreSight / Thread Loop 10 Threads - Check TID :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 6233
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.380 MB ./perf-thread_loop-check-tid-10th.data ]
Thread IDs 6242 6242 6242 6242 6242 6242 6242 6242 not found in perf AUX data
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
CoreSight / Thread Loop 10 Threads - Check TID: FAILED!

You could see the perf data file is abnormally small (0.380 MiB), it should be
an issue for perf cs-etm record. I don't think this is an issue for the test
case itself, we need to look at this issue later.

So with fixing the merging conflict:

These test cases are for trace data quality, I'd like wait a bit for Mike's
green light since he has much better understanding.

Thanks,
Leo

So, the first patch is merged, I now have to do the test builds to get
what I have out to Linus, which will probably closed the merge window
tomorrow, we can continue after that.

I changed the Author. wrong email address (I missed it). So all of them
