I wonder if we shouldn't somehow check if the credentials needed to performing a test shouldn't be checked before trying it. This way we would check if the check that the tool or the kernel is doing is the appropriate one. I.e. the kernel refusal for doing something may be an error. - Arnaldo > > Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev<atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> > > With this patch applied(on power) perf metricgroups test works correctly when perf_event access is restricted. > > # ./perf test "perf all metricgroups test" > 96: perf all metricgroups test : Ok > > Tested-by: Disha Goel<disgoel@linux.ibm.com> > > > --- > > Changelog: > > v1 -> v2: > > Changed the condition to use "echo" and "grep" so it works on > > Posix shell as well. > > > > tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_all_metricgroups.sh | 14 +++++++++++--- > > 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > > > diff --git a/tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_all_metricgroups.sh b/tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_all_metricgroups.sh > > index cb35e488809a..eaa5e1172294 100755 > > --- a/tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_all_metricgroups.sh > > +++ b/tools/perf/tests/shell/stat_all_metricgroups.sh > > @@ -2,11 +2,19 @@ > > # perf all metricgroups test > > # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 > > > > -set -e > > - > > for m in $(perf list --raw-dump metricgroups); do > > echo "Testing $m" > > - perf stat -M "$m" -a true > > + result=$(perf stat -M "$m" -a true 2>&1) > > + rc=$? > > + # Skip if there is no access to perf_events monitoring > > + # Otherwise exit based on the return code of perf comamnd. > > + if echo "$result" | grep -q "Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited"; > > + then > > + continue > > + else > > + [ $rc -ne 0 ] && exit $rc > > + fi > > + > > done > > > > exit 0

Perf all metricgroups test fails as below when perf_event access is restricted. ./perf test -v "perf all metricgroups test" Testing Memory_BW Error: Access to performance monitoring and observability operations is limited. Enforced MAC policy settings (SELinux) can limit access to performance access to performance monitoring and observability operations for processes without CAP_PERFMON, CAP_SYS_PTRACE or CAP_SYS_ADMIN Linux capability. test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- perf all metricgroups test: FAILED! Fix the testcase to skip those metric events which needs perf_event access explicitly. The exit code of the testcase is based on return code of the perf stat command ( enabled by set -e option ). Hence save the exit status in a variable and use that to decide success or fail for the testcase.
