[PATCH 5/5] perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer

From: Wang Nan
Date: Mon Apr 25 2016 - 22:32:25 EST


This test checks reading from backward ring buffer.

Test result:

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

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.
