perf test: Switch basic bpf filtering test to use syscall tracepoint
BPF filtering tests can sometime fail. Running the test in verbose mode shows the following: $ sudo perf test 42 42: BPF filter : 42.1: Basic BPF filtering : FAILED! 42.2: BPF pinning : Skip 42.3: BPF prologue generation : Skip $ perf --version perf version 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.ppc64le $ sudo perf test -v 42 42: BPF filter : 42.1: Basic BPF filtering : --- start --- test child forked, pid 711060 ... bpf: config 'func=do_epoll_wait' is ok Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) Using /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.ppc64le/vmlinux for symbols Open Debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/81/56f5a07f92ccb62c5600ba0e4aacfb5f3a7534.debug Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

Opening /sys/kernel/tracing//kprobe_events write=1 ... BPF filter result incorrect, expected 56, got 56 samples test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- BPF filter subtest 1: FAILED! The statement above about the result being incorrect looks weird, and it is due to that particular perf build missing commit 3e11300c ("perf test: Fix bpf test sample mismatch reporting"). In reality, due to commit 4b04e0de ("perf test: Fix basic bpf filtering test"), perf expects there to be 56*3 samples. However, the number of samples we receive is going to be dependent on where the probes are installed, which is dependent on where do_epoll_wait gets inlined. On s390x, it looks like probes at all the inlined locations are hit. But, that is not the case on ppc64le. Fix this by switching the test to instead use the syscall tracepoint. This ensures that we will only ever install a single event enabling us to reliably determine the sample count. Reported-by: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
