[PATCH 1/2] perf tests: Add event parsing error handling to parse events test
From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Mon Jun 11 2018 - 05:34:44 EST
Add missing error handling for parse_events calls in test_event
function that led to following segfault on s390:
running test 52 'intel_pt//u'
perf: Segmentation fault
...
/lib64/libc.so.6(vasprintf+0xe6) [0x3fffca3f106]
/lib64/libc.so.6(asprintf+0x46) [0x3fffca1aa96]
./perf(parse_events_add_pmu+0xb8) [0x80132088]
./perf(parse_events_parse+0xc62) [0x8019529a]
./perf(parse_events+0x98) [0x801341c0]
./perf(test__parse_events+0x48) [0x800cd140]
./perf(cmd_test+0x26a) [0x800bd44a]
test child interrupted
Adding the struct parse_events_error argument to parse_events
call. Also adding parse_events_print_error to get more details
on the parsing failures, like:
# perf test 6 -v
running test 52 'intel_pt//u'failed to parse event 'intel_pt//u', err 1, str 'Cannot find PMU `intel_pt'. Missing kernel support?'
event syntax error: 'intel_pt//u'
\___ Cannot find PMU `intel_pt'. Missing kernel support?
