Ian Rogers 344d3aec16 perf tests: Fix flakiness in branch stack sampling tests 
The branch stack sampling test (test 130) runs short iteration-based
workloads to verify syscall, kernel, and trap branch stack sampling.
Specifically, `test_syscall()` and `test_kernel_branches()` run `perf
bench syscall basic` with loop counts of 8000 and 1000, and
`test_trap_eret_branches()` runs `traploop` with 1000 iterations.

Because these loop limits are extremely small, the total benchmark
runtimes last only a few milliseconds (or less). Under high load,
virtualization, or coarse sampling conditions, PMU cycle sampling fails to
capture enough samples inside the brief benchmark loops. This leads to
false negatives where the script output lacks the expected syscall,
kernel, or trap branch entries (e.g. "ERROR: Branches missing getppid[^
]*/SYSCALL/").

Fix this by increasing the workload loop counts to 100,000 across all
three test sections. Running 100,000 loops still finishes virtually
instantaneously (less than 0.1 seconds), but generates enough iterations
to guarantee robust branch stack capture.

Ian Rogers 86d1095fdb perf test: Fixes for check branch stack sampling 
When filtering branch stack samples on user events they sample in user
land but may have come from the kernel. Aarch64 avoids leaking the
kernel address for kaslr reasons but other platforms, for now,
don't. Be more permissive in allowing kernel addresses in the source
of user branch stacks.

When filtering branch stack samples on kernel events they sample in
kernel land but may have come from user land. Avoid the target being a
user address but allow the source to be in user land. Aarch64 may not
leak the user land addresses (making them 0) but other platforms
do. As the kernel address sampling implies privelege, just allow this.

Increase the duration of the system call sampling test to make the
likelihood of sampling a system call higher (increased from 1000 to
8000 loops - a number found through experimentation on an Intel
Tigerlake laptop), also make the period of the event a prime number.

Put unneeded perf record output into a temporary file so that the test
output isn't cluttered. More clearly state which test is running and
the pass, fail or skipped result of the test.

These changes make the test on an Intel tigerlake laptop reliably pass
rather than reliably fail.

James Clark 9f0fa21379 perf test: Extend branch stack sampling test for Arm64 BRBE 
BRBE emits IRQ and ERET branches for branching and returning from
trapped instructions. Add a test that loops on a trapped instruction
(MRS - Read special register) for this.

Extend the expected 'any_call' branches to include FAULT_DATA and
FAULT_INST as these are emitted by BRBE.

James Clark f15548b277 perf test: Refactor brstack test 
check_branches() will be used by other tests in a later commit so make
it a function. And the any_call filters are duplicated and will also
be extended in a later commit, so move them to a variable.

No functional changes intended.

Ian Rogers f3061d5267 perf tests: Harden branch stack sampling test 
On continuous testing the perf script output can be empty, or nearly
empty, causing tr/grep to exit and due to "set -e" the test traps and
fails.

Add some empty file handling that sets the test to skip and make grep
and other text rewriting failures non-fatal by adding "|| true".

James Clark 3178155d29 perf test brstack: Speed up running test by using tr -s instead of xargs 
The brstack test runs quite slowly in software models. Part of the reason
is "xargs -n1" is quite inefficient in replacing spaces with newlines.

While that's not noticeable on normal machines, it is on software models.

Use "tr -s ' ' '\n'" instead which can do the same transformation, but is
much faster. For comparison on an M1 Macbook Pro:

  $ time seq -s ' ' 10000 | xargs -n1 > /dev/null

  real    0m2.729s
  user    0m2.009s
  sys     0m0.914s
  $ time seq -s ' ' 10000 | tr -s ' ' '\n' | grep '.' > /dev/null

  real    0m0.002s
  user    0m0.001s
  sys     0m0.001s

The "grep '.'" is also needed to remove any remaining blank lines.

Adrian Hunter fcfb5a6189 perf tests: Skip branch stack sampling test if brstack_bench symbol is missing 
The test "Check branch stack sampling" depends on finding symbol
brstack_bench (and several others) in perf, and fails if perf has been
stripped and no debug object is available. In that case, skip the test
instead.

Example:

  $ strip tools/perf/perf
  $ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -p `realpath tools/perf/perf`
  $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'branch stack sampling'

  + cleanup
  + rm -rf /tmp/__perf_test.program.5Dz1U
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Check branch stack sampling: FAILED!

 After:

  $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'branch stack sampling'

Fix all the POSIX sh warnings in perf shell test test_brstack.sh
Warnings fixed :
* In POSIX sh, using lower/mixed case for signal names is undefined.
Correcting that in this script.
* In POSIX sh, 'local' is undefined.
local is supported in many shells, but it's not in POSIX.
In POSIX sh, you can adopt some convention to avoid accidentally
overwriting variables names, e.g. prefixing with the function name,
that is what I have done here.

Tiezhu Yang 818448e9cf perf tools: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep" 
The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:

	egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E

fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.

  sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/perf`

Here are the steps to install the latest grep:

James Clark 20ebc4a649 perf test: Fix skipping branch stack sampling test 
Commit f4a2aade68 ("perf tests powerpc: Fix branch stack sampling
test to include sanity check for branch filter") added a skip if certain
branch options aren't available.

But the change added both -b (--branch-any) and --branch-filter options
at the same time, which will always result in a failure on any platform
because the arguments can't be used together.

Fix this by removing -b (--branch-any) and leaving --branch-filter which
already specifies 'any'. Also add warning messages to the test and perf
tool.

Output on x86 before this fix:

   $ sudo ./perf test branch
   108: Check branch stack sampling         : Skip

After:

   $ sudo ./perf test branch
   108: Check branch stack sampling         : Ok

Athira Rajeev f4a2aade68 perf tests powerpc: Fix branch stack sampling test to include sanity check for branch filter 
Commit b55878c90a ("perf test: Add test for branch stack
sampling") added test for branch stack sampling. There is a sanity check
in the beginning to skip the test if the hardware doesn't support branch
stack sampling.

Snippet
<<>>
skip the test if the hardware doesn't support branch stack sampling
perf record -b -o- -B true > /dev/null 2>&1 || exit 2
<<>>

But the testcase also uses branch sample types: save_type, any. if any
platform doesn't support the branch filters used in the test, the testcase
will fail. In powerpc, currently mutliple branch filters are not supported
and hence this test fails in powerpc. Fix the sanity check to look at
the support for branch filters used in this test before proceeding with
the test.

Thomas Richter fb5962f81e perf test: Fix test case 95 ("Check branch stack sampling") on s390 and use same event 
On linux-next tree 'perf test 95' ("Check branch stack sampling") was
added recently.

s390 does not support branch sampling at all and the test case fails
despite for checking branch support before hand.

The check for support of branching uses the software event named "dummy",
as seen in the line:

  perf record -b -o- -e dummy -B true > /dev/null 2>&1 || exit 2

However when the branch recording is actually done, a different event is
used, as seen in the line:

  perf record -o $TMPDIR/... --branch-filter any,save_type,u -- ...

The event is omitted and for "perf record" the default event is cycles,
which is not supported by s390 and this fails when executed on s390:

  # perf record --branch-filter any,save_type,u -- /tmp/__perf_test.program.iDSmQ/a.out
  Error:
  cycles: PMU Hardware or event type doesn't support branch stack sampling.
  #

Therefore fix this and use the same event cycles for testing support
and actually running the test.

Output before:

  # ./perf test -Fv 95
  95: Check branch stack sampling                                     :
  --- start ---
  Testing user branch stack sampling
  ---- end ----
  Check branch stack sampling: FAILED!
  #

Output after:

  # ./perf test -Fv 95
  95: Check branch stack sampling                                     :
  --- start ---
  ---- end ----
  Check branch stack sampling: Skip
  #

Add a self test for branch stack sampling, to check that we get the
expected branch types, and filters behave as expected.
