2026-05-29perf test: Make leafloop workload immune to compiler optionsJames Clark1-9/+31
Since the leafloop test program was moved into the main Perf binary as a workload, it inherited the same compiler options as Perf. In this case the -fstack-protector option broke the assumption that simple leaf frames don't have a stack frame on Arm. This causes test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh to pass even if the stack isn't augmented with the link register, making the test useless. Fix it by rewriting the leaf function in assembly seeing as it's so simple. Adding -fno-stack-protector would also work, but wouldn't be robust against other future compiler option additions. The local variables and 'a' variable were never needed so remove them to simplify.

2024-06-24perf test: Make test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh more robustJames Clark1-4/+16
The 2 second sleep can cause the test to fail on very slow network file systems because Perf ends up being killed before it finishes starting up. Fix it by making the leafloop workload end after a fixed time like the other workloads so there is no need to kill it after 2 seconds. Also remove the 1 second start sampling delay because it is similarly fragile. Instead, search through all samples for a matching one, rather than just checking the first sample and hoping it's in the right place.

2022-11-23perf test: Add 'leafloop' test workloadNamhyung Kim1-0/+34
The leafloop workload is to run an infinite loop in the test_leaf function. This is needed for the ARM fp callgraph test to verify if it gets the correct callchains. $ perf test -w leafloop Committer notes: Add a: -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to the leafloop CFLAGS as the main perf flags set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has a -O0.
