[PATCH 05/15] perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue May 10 2016 - 11:17:13 EST


From: Wang Nan <wangnan0@xxxxxxxxxx>

This test checks reading from backward ring buffer.

Test result:

# ~/perf test 'ring buffer'
45: Test backward reading from ring buffer : Ok

The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple
times. Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one
PERF_RECORD_COMM.

The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can
afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of
events.

The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it
overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.
