Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Add bpf-output event
The kernel has added support for 'PERF_COUNT_SW_BPF_OUTPUT' but that is
missing from the perf tool. Among other things, results in the 'roundtrip
evsel->name check' test case of 'perf test' failing on Powerpc.

Next time can you please state if this is for this merge window or for
the next?
Will apply it for perf/core, for the next merge window.

wait a sec, I believe Wang has posted an RFC a month ago that adds support
for this properly instead of simply shutting up the error.
Or I missed something?

Yes. Please have a look at
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/[email protected]
and patch 23/31 - 31/31 in
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/[email protected]
We are working on a solution which truly utilizes bpf-output, including
filling event array and extracting BPF output through perf data to CTF
format. Now they are separated in multiple patchset, and I'd like to
resend them to Arnaldo in this week.
Thank you.

Ok. It looked like there was development going on around BPF so I put
in the stubs to avoid false positives in the perf test. There is a BPF
filter test case that is also getting Skipped. Would this patchset address
that too?

Do you mean this?
$ ./perf test bpf
37: Test BPF filter :
37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Skip
To make it pass you need to build BPF compiling environment first.
First of all you must be root:
$ ./perf test -v bpf
37: Test BPF filter :
37.1: Test basic BPF filtering :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 19359
Only root can run BPF test
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
Test BPF filter subtest 0: Skip
Then it would tell you how to setup your LLVM environment:
$ sudo -s
# ./perf test -v bpf
37: Test BPF filter :
37.1: Test basic BPF filtering :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 19463
ERROR: unable to find clang.
Hint: Try to install latest clang/llvm to support BPF. Check your $PATH
and 'clang-path' option in [llvm] section of ~/.perfconfig.
LLVM 3.7 or newer is required. Which can be found from
http://llvm.org
You may want to try git trunk:
git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
and
git clone http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
Or fetch the latest clang/llvm 3.7 from pre-built llvm
packages for
debian/ubuntu:
http://llvm.org/apt
If you are using old version of clang, change
'clang-bpf-cmd-template'
option in [llvm] section of ~/.perfconfig to:
"$CLANG_EXEC $CLANG_OPTIONS $KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS \
-working-directory $WORKING_DIR -c $CLANG_SOURCE \
-emit-llvm -o - | /path/to/llc -march=bpf -filetype=obj -o -"
(Replace /path/to/llc with path to your llc)
Failed to compile test case: 'Basic BPF llvm compiling test'
Unable to get BPF object, fix 'perf test LLVM' first
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
Test BPF filter subtest 0: Skip
Set your clang path to ~/.perfconfig
# cat ~/.perfconfig
[llvm]
clang-path = "/opt/llvm-3.7.0/x86_64-oe-linux-clang"
Then try 'perf test LLVM', fix all failure:
# ./perf test LLVM
35: Test LLVM searching and compiling :
35.1: Basic BPF llvm compiling test : Ok
35.2: Test kbuild searching : Ok
35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation test : Ok
After that you can try perf test BPF:
# ./perf test BPF
37: Test BPF filter :
37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Ok
37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Ok
Thank you.
