From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
Sometimes a test is problematic for some reason and one wants to skip it,
for instance:
[root@sandy ~]# perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok
2: detect open syscall event : Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus : Ok
4: read samples using the mmap interface : Ok
5: parse events tests : Warning: bad op
token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: bad op token {
Warning: function is_writable_pte not defined
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
So now we can use -s/--skip while the problematic tests are being fixed,
allowing us to test all the other entries:
[root@sandy ~]# perf test -s 5
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok
2: detect open syscall event : Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus : Ok
4: read samples using the mmap interface : Ok
5: parse events tests : Skip (user
override)
6: x86 rdpmc test : Ok
7: Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields : Ok
8: Test perf pmu format parsing : Ok
9: Test dso data interface : Ok
10: roundtrip evsel->name check : Ok
11: Check parsing of sched tracepoints fields : Ok
12: Generate and check syscalls:sys_enter_open event fields: Ok
13: struct perf_event_attr setup : Ok
14: Test matching and linking mutliple hists : Ok
15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok
