	perf trace requires root because it needs to use tracepoints and BPF. Skip those test when it's not run as root. Before: $ perf test trace 15: Parse sched tracepoints fields : Skip (permissions) 80: perf ftrace tests : Skip 105: perf trace enum augmentation tests : FAILED! 106: perf trace BTF general tests : FAILED! 107: perf trace exit race : FAILED! 118: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Skip 125: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples: Skip 127: Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples : Skip 132: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : FAILED! After: $ perf test trace 15: Parse sched tracepoints fields : Skip (permissions) 80: perf ftrace tests : Skip 105: perf trace enum augmentation tests : Skip 106: perf trace BTF general tests : Skip 107: perf trace exit race : Skip 118: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Skip 125: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples: Skip 127: Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples : Skip 132: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname : Skip Tested-by: Thomas Falcon <thomas.falcon@intel.com> Cc: Howard Chu <howardchu95@gmail.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250304022837.1877845-4-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

2024-12-26	perf trace: Add tests for BTF general augmentation	Howard Chu
	Currently, we only have 'perf trace' augmentation tests for enum arguments. This patch adds tests for more general syscall arguments, such as struct pointers, strings, and buffers. These tests utilize the 'perf config' system to configure 'the perf trace' output, as suggested by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>. Committer testing: root@number:~# perf test "BTF general" 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok root@number:~# perf test -v "BTF general" 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok root@number:~# perf test -vv "BTF general" 109: perf trace BTF general tests: --- start --- test child forked, pid 1410451 Checking if vmlinux BTF exists Testing perf trace's string augmentation Testing perf trace's buffer augmentation Testing perf trace's struct augmentation ---- end(0) ---- 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok root@number:~# It still fails sometimes, for instance when tested with: root@number:~# perf stat --null -r 10 perf test "BTF general" 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok 109: perf trace BTF general tests : FAILED! 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok 109: perf trace BTF general tests : FAILED! 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok 109: perf trace BTF general tests : Ok Performance counter stats for 'perf test BTF general' (10 runs): 2.148 +- 0.293 seconds time elapsed ( +- 13.63% ) root@number:~# But we can go on from here and fix things up with followup patches.
