From: Matt Fleming <[email protected]> To encourage developers to contribute arch-specific tests without feeling guilty about messing up the generic perf tests, this patch series introduces "arch tests" and then adds a test for the Intel CQM perf code which was used to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE(), fixed in commit 2c534c0da0a6 ("perf/x86/intel/cqm: Return cached counter value from IRQ context").
The concept of additional lists of tests, like the arch tests, can be taken further in the future, for instance Arnaldo has expressed interest in adding tests that require root permissions, etc. The patch series is based on tip/perf/core. The original patch that inspired this series can be found here, https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Matt Fleming (3): perf tests: Introduce iterator function for tests perf tests: Add arch tests perf tests: Add Intel CQM test tools/perf/arch/x86/Build | 2 +- tools/perf/arch/x86/include/arch-tests.h | 18 +++ tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/Build | 9 +- tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/arch-tests.c | 28 +++++ tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/dwarf-unwind.c | 1 + tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/intel-cqm.c | 124 +++++++++++++++++++ tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/perf-time-to-tsc.c | 163 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/rdpmc.c | 174 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tools/perf/tests/Build | 3 - tools/perf/tests/builtin-test.c | 76 ++++++------ tools/perf/tests/dwarf-unwind.c | 4 + tools/perf/tests/perf-time-to-tsc.c | 162 ------------------------ tools/perf/tests/rdpmc.c | 177 --------------------------- tools/perf/tests/tests.h | 9 +- 14 files changed, 562 insertions(+), 388 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/x86/include/arch-tests.h create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/arch-tests.c create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/intel-cqm.c create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/perf-time-to-tsc.c create mode 100644 tools/perf/arch/x86/tests/rdpmc.c delete mode 100644 tools/perf/tests/perf-time-to-tsc.c delete mode 100644 tools/perf/tests/rdpmc.c -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
