Perf test's shell runner will just run everything in the tests
directory (as long as it's not another directory or does not begin
with a dot), but sometimes you find files in there that are not shell
scripts - perf.data output for example if you do some testing and then
the next time you run perf test it tries to run these. Check the files
are executable so they are actually intended to be test scripts and
not just some "random junk" files there.

You edit your scripts in the tests and end up with your usual shell
backup files with ~ or .bak or something else at the end, but then your
next perf test run wants to run the backups too. You might also have perf
.data files in the directory or something else undesireable as well. You end
up chasing which test is the one you edited and the backup and have to keep
removing all the backup files, so automatically skip any files that are
not plain *.sh scripts to limit the time wasted in chasing ghosts.

This adds a test harness and tests to run perf record and examine the
resuling output when coresight is enabled on arm64 and check the
resulting quality of the output as part of perf test. These tests use
various tools to produce output from perf record then measure some key
specific aspects of that data to see if the data exists at all and
contains key aspects such as measuring some data for every thread of
a test or produces sufficient data for large exeuction runs of a large
executable. etc.

+Arm Coresight Support
+=====================
+
+Coresight is a feature of some Arm based processors that allows for
+debugging. One of the things it can do is trace every instruction
+executed and remotely expose that information in a hardware compressed
+stream. Perf is able to locally access that stream and store it to the
+output perf data files. This stream can then be later decoded to give the
+instructions that were traced for debugging or profiling purposes. You
+can log such data with a perf record command like:
+
+ perf record -e cs_etm//u testbinary
+
+This would run some test binary (testbinary) until it exits and record
+a perf.data trace file. That file would have AUX sections if coresight
+is working correctly. You can dump the content of this file as
+readable text with a command like:
+
+ perf report --stdio --dump -i perf.data
+
+You should find some sections of this file have AUX data blocks like:
+
+ 0x1e78 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x11dd0 offset: 0 ref: 0x1b614fc1061b0ad1 idx: 0 tid: 531230 cpu: -1
+
+ . ... CoreSight ETM Trace data: size 73168 bytes
+ Idx:0; ID:10; I_ASYNC : Alignment Synchronisation.
+ Idx:12; ID:10; I_TRACE_INFO : Trace Info.; INFO=0x0 { CC.0 }
+ Idx:17; ID:10; I_ADDR_L_64IS0 : Address, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000000000000000;
+ Idx:26; ID:10; I_TRACE_ON : Trace On.
+ Idx:27; ID:10; I_ADDR_CTXT_L_64IS0 : Address & Context, Long, 64 bit, IS0.; Addr=0x0000FFFFB6069140; Ctxt: AArch64,EL0, NS;
+ Idx:38; ID:10; I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+ Idx:39; ID:10; I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+ Idx:40; ID:10; I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
+ Idx:41; ID:10; I_ATOM_F6 : Atom format 6.; EEEEEEEEEEEN
+ ...
+
+If you see these above, then your system is tracing coresight data
+correctly.
+
+To compile perf with coresight support in the perf directory do
+
+ make CORESIGHT=1
+
+This will compile the perf tool with coresight support as well as
+build some small test binaries for perf test. This requires you also
+be compiling for 64bit Arm (ARM64/aarch64). The tools run as part of
+perf coresight tracing are in tests/shell/tools/coresight.
+
+You will also want coresight support enabled in your kernel config.
+Ensure it is enabled with:
+
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT=y
+
+There are various other coresight options you probably also want
+enabled like:
+
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_LINKS_AND_SINKS=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_LINK_AND_SINK_TMC=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CATU=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SINK_TPIU=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SINK_ETBV10=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_STM=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CPU_DEBUG=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CTI=y
+ CONFIG_CORESIGHT_CTI_INTEGRATION_REGS=y
+
+Please refer to the kernel configuration help for more information.
+
+Perf test - Verify kernel and userspace perf coresight work
+===========================================================
+
+When you run perf test, it will do a lot of self tests. Some of those
+tests will cover Coresight (only if enabled and on ARM64). You
+generally would run perf test from the tools/perf directory in the
+kernel tree. Some tests will check some internal perf support like:
+
+ Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples
+
+Some others will actually use perf record and some test binaries that
+are in tests/shell/tools/coresight and will collect traces to ensure a
+minimum level of functionality is met. The scripts that launch these
+tests are in tests/shell. These will all look like:
+
+ Coresight / Memcpy 1M 25 Threads
+ Coresight / Unroll Loop Thread 2
+ ...
+
+These perf record tests will not run if the tool binaries do not exist
+in tests/shell/tools/coresight/*/ and will be skipped. If you do not
+have coresight support in hardware then either do not build perf with
+coresight support or remove these binaries in order to not have these
+tests fail and have them skip instead.
+
+These tests will log historical results in the current working
+directory (e.g. tools/perf) and will be named stats-*.csv like:
+
+ stats-asm_pure_loop-out.csv
+ stats-bubble_sort-random.csv
+ ...
+
+These statistic files log some aspects of the AUX data sections in
+the perf data output counting some numbers of certain encodings (a
+good way to know that it's working in a very simple way). One problem
+with coresight is that given a large enough amount of data needing to
+be logged, some of it can be lost due to the processor not waking up
+in time to read out all the data from buffers etc.. You will notice
+that the amount of data collected can vary a lot per run of perf test.
+If you wish to see how this changes over time, simply run perf test
+multiple times and all these csv files will have more and more data
+appended to it that you can later examine, graph and otherwise use to
+figure out if things have become worse or better.
+
+Be aware that amny of these tests take quite a while to run, specifically
+in processing the perf data file and dumping contents to then examine what
+is inside.
+
+You can change where these csv logs are stored by setting the
+PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_STATDIR environment variable before running perf
+test like:
+
+ export PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_STATDIR=/var/tmp
+ perf test
+
+They will also store resulting perf output data in the current
+directory for later inspection like:
+
+ perf-memcpy-1m.data
+ perf-thread_loop-2th.data
+ ...
+
+You can alter where the perf data files are stored by setting the
+PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_DATADIR environment variable such as:
+
+ PERF_TEST_CORESIGHT_DATADIR=/var/tmp
+ perf test
+
+You may wish to set these above environment variables if you which to
+keep the output of tests outside of the current working directory for
+longer term storage and examination.

Just nitpick: since multiple conditions are added, seems to me it's good
to use a single function is_executable_shell_script() to make decision
if a file is an executable shell script.
And the condition checking 'ent->d_name[0] != '.'' would be redundant
after we have checked the file suffix '.sh'.

Very big change... Why squash all patches form previous verion to this
single one big patch? Usually the format with small patches is much
better for reviewing.
And I cannot apply cleanly on perf core branch:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git branch: perf/core.

Maybe here need to sync a bit for the terminology in
Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight.rst.
Something like:
"Coresight is a feature of some Arm based processors that allows for
debugging. One of the things it can do is trace instruction path and
expose that information in a hardware compressed stream for either
debugger or HW assisted tracing locally.
See Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight.rst for details."

For build perf tool, I think above paragraphs are duplicate with the
document Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight.rst. Can we simply
say:
"The details for building perf tool with support Arm Coresight can be
found in the "HOWTO.md" file of the openCSD gitHub repository:
https://github.com/Linaro/opencsd.
And "HOWTO.md" file gives the information and examples for how to use
perf tool to record and report Coresight trace data. It's the
prerequisite for this perf Coresight test."

I prefer to remove these kernel configuration since they are not
inconsistent on different platforms (e.g. ETBV10, ETM4X, etc), and
some configurations might not necessary (e.g. CPU_DEBUG).

Please update based on the latest test case names, at my side, I can
see the testing case like:
Coresight / ASM Pure Loop
Coresight / Memcpy 16k 10 Threads
Coresight / Thread Loop 10 Threads - Check TID
Coresight / Thread Loop 2 Threads - Check TID

I am confused by this narrative. Does it try to remind that the final
testing result (pass or fail) is not stable? Or should we run for
multiple times so have more chance to capture issues?

There have four sub folders under tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight:
asm_pure_loop
memcpy_thread
thread_loop
unroll_loop_thread
And every folder has its own Makefile and every Makefile is quite
close to each other. I am just wandering if it's possible to
remove the 4 Makefiles in these four sub folders, and simply use
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/Makefile as the central place to
build these assistant programs.

I tested the case "ASM Pure Loop" on my Juno board, and it complaints:
root@debian:/mnt/export/arm-linux-kernel/tools/perf# ./perf test -v 76
76: Coresight / ASM Pure Loop :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 9063
failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Coresight / ASM Pure Loop: FAILED!
Since I only setup the 1GB memory for the Linux kernel, it fails to
allocate AUX ring buffer with the size 256MB. So I manully change
the buffer size to 8MB in tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/coresight.sh:
PERFRECMEM="-m ,8M"
So finally I can see the test case is passed:
root@debian:/mnt/export/arm-linux-kernel/tools/perf# ./perf test -v 76
76: Coresight / ASM Pure Loop :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 9481
-m ,8M -e cs_etm//u
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.681 MB ./perf-asm_pure_loop-out.data ]
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Coresight / ASM Pure Loop: Ok
Do you think we really need to use 256MiB as the AUX buffer size?
IIRC, it means we allocate 256MiB per CPU for this case, on the other
hand, you could see the final perf data file size is small (0.681
MiB).
Seems to me, it's not necessary to allocate so big buffer for
the test, and I tried to run below 4 cases with 8MiB, all of them can
pass the testing :)

Can we organize the shell scripts by moving them into the folder
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight?
coresight_asm_pure_loop.sh
coresight_memcpy_thread_16k_10.sh
coresight_thread_loop_check_tid_10.sh
coresight_thread_loop_check_tid_2.sh
coresight_unroll_loop_thread_10.sh
And we even can consider to move script test_arm_coresight.sh into
the folder tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight and change its
name as 'coresight_smoke_test.sh'.
Thanks,
Leo

I'd certainly make a function if this was being re-used, but as the
"coding pattern" was to do all the tests already inside the if() in only
one place, I kept with the style there and didn't change the code that
didn't need changing. I can rewrite this code and basically make a
function that is just an if ...:
bool is_exe_shell_script(const char *base, struct dirent *ent) {
return ent->d_name[0] != '.' && !is_directory(base, ent) &&
is_executable_file(base, ent) && is_shell_script(ent->d_name);
}
And macro becomes:
#define for_each_shell_test(entlist, nr, base, ent) \
for (int __i = 0; __i < nr && (ent = entlist[__i]); __i++) \
if (is_shell(base, ent))
But one catch... it really should be is_non_hidden_exe_shell_script() as
it's checking that it's not a hidden file AND is a shell script. Or do I
keep the hidden file test outside of the function in the if? If we're
nit picking then I need to know exactly what you want here as your
suggested name is actually incorrect.

This isn't actually redundant. You can have .something.sh :) If the idea
is we skip anything with a . at the start first always... then the if
(to me) is obvious.

I was asked to re-jig the tree and in doing so I also ended up cutting
down the size a lot so this just makes more sense together as a "here
are the tests" as adding infra without any tests makes no sense and the
tests themelves are self-contained in their own directories and source
files and "drivign scripts" thus it's essentially patch 1 appended to
patch 2 to patch 3 etc. and still broken up in the patch file by file.

I generated this based on tip. I can re-do it based on the above.

Sure. Can do that.

I can. I put this here as I didn't go clone OpencCSD first but used my
distro OpenCSD packages and thus of course didn't have the documentation
in front of me. I spent some time wondering why it wasn't building with
coresight support even though it detected OpenCSD when I compiled... I
didn't expect to have to go to some separate project git repository and
read docs there on how to build the perf tool here in the kernel. I
wrote this because it was an actual problem I hit and it's a lot less
frustrating to "end users" to give them the information they need in the
relevant place they need it instead of sending them around to other
project trees. Building perf with coresight support is handled by the
perf tree int he kernel, not OpenCSD, thus IMHO that is where the
documentation belongs - alongside the thing that determines how to build
something.

Certainly there should be some documentation on which kernel configs you
might want to turn on then? Imagine someone new comes along and doesn't
have any idea what to possible enable at all and manages to build perf
with coresight support (as above) then finds it doesn't work because
they didn't enable enough config in the kernel? Sure - could probably
trim these down a bit but the point here is to alert the user to there
being a range of coresight config options that you need to turn on that
you likely will find are not turned on. They certainly are not turned on
on distro kernels and a lot of the time when you have a platform that
already boots/works you start with your distro kernel config file
because you want everything enabled so it actually boots. I've learned
the hard way to do this as you manage to forget to turn on some MMC
driver or some other feature and your boot hangs or doesn't find rootfs etc.
What would you recommend then as a "turn these on and coresight will
almost certainly work for you on your given hardware " then?

That is correct. I thought I was clear that it's lossy. That is actually
the case. I have tests here that actually fail because there is no data
collected from some threads at all (missing CID blocks for some of the
threads that run in the test). The point is to have tests that may be
failing now but in future will improve. I lowered the minimum bar to
pass for most tests to have "at least just a little data" but most tests
show highly variable amount of captured data. the csv files are there to
over-time give you a good idea of the stability of the captured data.

I have this because I wanted to have a simple template to be able to
re-use for more tests over time. It's so much easier to maintain and
extend if every makefile and tool follow a similar pattern and you can
almost copy & paste between them as they don't have "exceptions". You
really want me to remove this?

I did this so it's easier to etxent over time. having a single parent
makefile that over time accumulates little ugly "if's" and exceptions
makes longer-term maintenance and extending harder. I did it this way to
make this easy - make a copy of a dir - add that dir to a parent
makefile then modify the makefile as needed (but only as needed).

This is artificial isn't it? limiting to 1GB. You certainly have far
more memory than that available. My testse were on a system with 4GB and
I had no issues.

I didn't think anyone with a system with coresight support that would be
running perf record locally would only have 1GB of ram... I knew junos
had 8GB and my dragonboard has 4GB ... so I know I was on the smaller
side. I thought a larger buffer == safer results (less chance of needing
to write out the buffer during capture). Admittdly I used 256Mb when my
tests ran for much longer and collected more data. I can try drop to 8
or 16gb and see.

We can - but it comes with a fair few more changes.

Indeed these other tests I left alone for now and had not thought about
how to marry these together yet - leaving this for another day and
another patch set rather than this patch set itself. That was my
thoguht. I was trying to make an "Easier to extend by just dropping a
test into a dir" setup here to make maintenance and expansion easier
over time (and thus encourage testing by having a simple repeatable test
infra to duplicate). I ended up with a dir per test tool you need to
build and a driver script in the tests/shell dir. I think this is
certainly worth considering but perhaps as a separate set of work to
marry these?
I piggybacked on the existing shell test infra but added a fair few more
scripts. To do what you suggest I'd need to modify the core shell test
code to walk subdirs recursively then looking for child scripts. The
problem is how does perf test's shell handling know about the coresight
subdir vs the lib subdir? Both contain *.sh shell scripts - the
difference is the ones in lib are not executable. Is this sufficiently
different? I could also open them to check the have #!/bin/... as the
first line. Hardcoding just a single coresight subdir just feels wrong
and hacky to me, thus the generic recursion solution I suggest here.
I can definitely see how extending to subdirs would make supporting
testing cleaner and divide things into their own domains (dirs).

I am not sure if I understand the meaning, seems to me you could
organize the patch series like:
- Patch for common files (e.g. script lib/coresight.sh or some
Makefile changes);
- Patches for enabling test cases, E.g.:
patch for asm_pure_loop;
patch for thread loop (include unroll loop);
patch for memcpy;
- Patch for documentation.
If this is not comfortable for you, at least we can use three patches:
- Patch for common file (e.g. script lib/coresight.sh);
- Patch for test cases;
- Patch for documentation.

Yes, otherwise, users might directly build perf without opencsd lib,

So far, we will have two documents in Linux kernel:
- Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight.rst;
- tools/perf/Documentation/arm-coresight.txt.
We need to avoid overlap between these two files. I think we could use
the file Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight.rst to focus on
CoreSight driver module relates stuffs and
tools/perf/Documentation/arm-coresight.txt is more about the perf
usages.
But, the file Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight.rst doesn't give
any info for kernel configs, I think which would be a better place to
give information for building kernel modules.
> What would you recommend then as a "turn these on and coresight will almost

This would be fine. Alternatively, we could add a section in the file
Documentation/trace/coresight/coresight.rst to describe how to build
CoreSight modules.
How you think for this? I also would like to get suggestions from
CoreSight maintainers Suzuki/Mathieu/Mike.

Okay, this would be fine for me. Though I am a bit worry that later if
users report a failure, then how we can tell them this is a bug or it's
just tracing quality issue?

It's interesting that I wanted to find a case to object you, so I tried
to check the folder linux/samples/bpf, but it does use .gitignore file
to ignore built binaries :)
Adding .gitignore is in practice and this would be fine for me.

It's fine to keep it. Could you add a comment for this?
To be honest, I am not experienced for bash shell script, so I have no
idea why write like this way. If you think this is very common usage
in shell, then you could keep it and don't need to add comment.

Yes, my Juno board has 8GB but I also have DB410c with 1GB with quad
coes [1]. I am still concern for 256MB buffer size, it's not friendly for
embedded system, and even not good for server. For example, if we run
this testing on Arm server with 96 cores (like Hisilicon D06 board),
then we need the buffer size is:
256MiB * 96 = 16GiB
I agree usually 16GiB is not a problem for server, but seems to me
it doesn't make much sense to consume huge memory resource for the
testing.
In other words, if set 8MiB (or 16MiB, 32MiB) buffer size and doesn't
see testing result regression, I think this would be good to decrease
the buffer size.

Okay, it would be fine to use separate set for moving the script
test_arm_coresight.sh, which is a simple case.

Yeah, now I understand your point. How about file layout like below?
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight_test_hub.sh
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/coresight_asm_pure_loop.sh
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/coresight_memcpy_thread_16k_10.sh
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/coresight_thread_loop_check_tid_10.sh
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/coresight_thread_loop_check_tid_2.sh
tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight/coresight_unroll_loop_thread_10.sh
So we use tools/perf/tests/shell/coresight_test_hub.sh as an interface
to hook with Perf test infrastructure, and then hub.sh file calls
testing scripts under the sub folder. Seems to me, this is also
friendly for later's extension.

Agreed. I also don't prefer this way.

Thanks a lot for the work! The test cases are good for me (but I would
say Mike is the best person for reviewing testing trace data quaility),
I just want to make sure it's not hard for later maintenance.

Sorry for long latency.
If the condition checking gets complex, seems to me it is reasonable to
use a static function (or a macro?) to encapsulate the logics.

I personally prefer to use the condition:
if (is_exe_shell_script() && ent->d_name[0] != '.')
do_something...
The reason is the function is_exe_shell_script() is more common and we
use it easily in wider scope.

Yeah, I agree the checking the start char '.' is the right thing
to do.

Correct for my bad math... here should be 256MiB * 96 = 24GiB.

I think it would be best to keep all the coresight documentation under the
current coresight documentation repository[1]. That way all the information on
coresight can be found in a central place.
Some part of what is added by this patch is redundant with what is currently
available in [1]. Other parts are tests specific and should be added under
something like "coresight-perf-test.rst".

OK. I just added this here because this was relevant "get you going"
documentation for perf + coresight and testing and other relevant docs
were here including architecture specific ones like the intel docs. I'll
find a way of merging it with the above mentioned docs.

Sure - some is, but most is not mentioned there (the vast majority). I'd
argue essentially all of it is relevant to someone getting started and
the documentation in the above location is not very friendly or useful
in that regard (which is why I wrote the documentation here to begin
with). As I can't really find anything it duplicates other than the
initial paragraph which I can remove, I'll merge the rest in and link it
in as above, unless you can be specific on what it really duplicates?

No problem.

Well normally my rule i s - if it gets re-used then do it, otherwise it
just involves more indirection to follow. :) But regardless of that,
given some other things you ask for that kind of makes this discussion
moot as it requires much bigger wholesale changes to the test infra
which will make these patches a lot more work. I'll get to that later in
mails.

As above - will probably have to redo a lot of the test infra involving
the shell tests to handle some of your other requests, but if we don't
go that way, I have got where you want to go and I can do this.

Each of those last patches are simple a patch with added "fluff" to add
a line to a makefile each time then entire new files. A single patch set
already divides each of these into their own files in the same patch are
already divided - the only difference is - do you get the added fluff
fiddling to add files to the makefile or just have them all added at
once and the rest is already broken up. If you scroll through a patch
with 3 files, or have 3 patches with 1 file in each - it's the same in
the end. It's divided either way, but creating a patch set where one
patch after the other adds a new test and each adds a line to the same
makefle is a more work as I can't just git add/commit the test files to
each patch. I have to first remove all tests. Then add the parent
makefile for the tools with 1 line in it for 1 tool and 1 set of patch
scripts. I then have to add the next one and edit this parent makefile
to add one line and so on - where it actually makes the total size of
all the patches bigger as this makefile that lists all the child dirs
keeps being modified only to just add a single line added to it and the
rest is all stand-alone new files anyway. As all the changes to this
parent makefile all modify the same context, they can't be separated
out and cherry-picked as they then get conflicts in the context anyways
so the patches can't be chosen separately without resolving conflicts
anyway, thus to me it makes no sense to do all the extra work for a
bigger total patch set that can't be split out without conflicts anyway...
But I kind of give up. It seems there is a view (that I don't understand
as over-all the data is more complex and larger to review when broken
out) that more data in N patches is preferable to less data in a single
patch (even though it's all broken out into different file blocks in the
same patch so you scroll down and basically in essence "cat *.patch" and
"cat onefile.patch" produce the same thing other than the "add one more
line to this makefile"). I'll break it up - it just is more busy-work to
create a bigger overall patch set with more changes to look at overall.

The documentation I can see breaking out - though that wants to be moved
somewhere else in the tree now and not alongside the perf tool. I
generally go for the view of documentation belongs with the thing it
documents and if there is new information to document, it belongs with
the patch introducing what it documents. :)

I'll move this over to the place that Matthieu and you mention
(Documentation/trace/coresight), but I do think this kind of information
is necessary as above, so thanks. :)

That's the case here with this patch set. To me - I would look for the
perf docs where I put them - in the perf documentation directory, not
somewhere else.

Correct. I do think you're right. I think that the "core docs" should
give this information and the perf tool docs should at least reference
these so you know to look there. I think I should at least put a stub
doc in the perf tool doc tree to tell someone to go look at the "core
docs" for more information.

Well this is kind of both a bug and a quality issue. Reality is I have
tests that literally get no information in the perf trace for some
threads. Reality is we have what I'd call "Quality of trace" bugs and I
was doing these test as a way of beginning to explore that and quantify
it as that is not something the existing tests were doing. We want to
have tests that in future with new designs show the quality bug to be
fixed. It's kind of test driven development. Expose the quality bug,
document it as such and then in future show it to be fixed when that
happens (v9 should fix this...). I probably should document this as such
(as a quality bug and why such failures are to be expected) so I'll add
that to my TODO to make sure it's clear that these tests might fail and
it's a quality issue (I mention the CSV files that are generated as a
way to over-time track that quality).

Well this is a makefile above (not shell), but having done lots of
makefile and other higher level make tooling (autotools, cmake, meson)
and having to maintain larger trees with "We build the same kind of
thing N times but each module/tool needs slightly different
linking/includes/tooling" ... I have learned the value of using
templates that are the same but sometimes you have empty fields or
fields that change. When you have to fix/change a "design pattern" issue
it's easier to do when the files share more in common and it's easier
for someone to start a new tool/module/subdir by taking an existing
template and just modifying it as needed and everything they need is
there. It really makes maintenance so much easier in the long-run as you
expand the set of things something builds. Design patterns in your build
system really help. :)

A bit more actually 24M - but I see you correct this already in a

Even 24GB is not a problem IMHO if you have 96 cores, but ... I see your
point.

I'll drop it down to something less - sure. Maybe between 16-64M and
that should mean everything you have there is able to do this without
issues. 1GB with 8 cores would only need 512M for buffers - you have a
lot left over. So 64M or less would be just fine I think (and with 4
cores... even more headroom).

I think that breaking out test_arm_coresight.sh into sub-tests that are
stand-alone is better. I've had to deal with test suites that have one
test case and that test fails/succeeds BUT this test case actually tests
30+ API calls or something like that and one of those fail. Which one?
You don't immediately know. You have to now go digging through log files
to find out. Breaking this out into less efficient but easier to see
"one test per thing you test" is much better and long-run really saves
time and headaches, but this is "let's do this another day" but it is
why I am over-engineering the tests with the view that these will expand
in number and move over such tests.

Aaaaah here I disagree. The current test infra will only see
"coresight_test_hub.sh" and then that all passes, fails or skips as a
single test (see above). ub-tests are hidden when you do "perf test".
I've had to deal with this before and it is (IMHO) a horrible way to go
as you spend time then re-running the tests by hand and digging through
other logs to see what failed rather than the toplevel tests indicating
right there pass, fail or skip. Over time it becomes a time-sink to hunt
these and mystifies new people who don't know where to dig for the
specific failure.
To break them up like you want into subdirs then requires me to go to
perf test (builtin-script.c) and change how the walking of test subdirs
works with shells. It seems to have some legacy code in there that walks
some "lang" dirs with "bin" dirs in them that seemingly do not exist
today in the kernel tree. The right way to do this if you want to break
this out into a coresight dir would be to modify how perf test walks
dirs and builds the list of tests. I'd have to walk all subdirs then
specifically filter for tests it knows will exist (executable, end in
.sh, maybe be named like parentdir/parentdir_XXX.sh like your above
suggestion of coresight/coresight_XXX.sh etc.). This now involves
re-jigging a lot more code and abstracting the walking into a single
function that walks once then stores the data in an array of struct
pef_shell_test or such which now is filtered (and sorted which we should
do which we don't now), and thus clean this all up, remove the
(seemingly) legacy lang/bin dir walk code (I need to dig through history
to find out where this came in and why it was there) and so on.
This certainly then makes this set of patches bigger and I need to break
out this "revamp" of the walking of test shell scripts a preparation
patch, but just saying: It certainly raises the bar for work and I don't
think having a single parent .sh that then walks all the children and
produces a single test output is right. I could popen this test and read
the output to generate multiple output tests but, IMHO, that is worse
and more complex than fixing the tree walk above to build an index of
all shell tests once etc. like:
struct script_file {
char *dir;
char *file;
char *label;
}
struct script_file *list_script_files(void);
... so we run this whenever we want a list of shell tests and just
iterate over it until a NULL member (dir, file, label are all NULL).
Simple and does the job but moves all the walking into a single function
instead of there being like 3 of them now.

Sure. Let me at least make a start on the shell-test walk code and
cleaning it up. I've just been staring at this and trying to find a
"better way" but I'm pretty much at "Do it my current way with no subdir
and keep the patch simple" or "Make this a more complex a patch to try
streamline the code and abstract the shell tests better and include
sub-dir walking" as I describe above. Long term I think this is actually
a very good idea to clean this up and allow tests then in general to go
into domain-specific subdirs. It just brings forward this kind of work
ahead of getting extra tests in. I can't really see another sensible option.

To be honest, I am not sure if this patch is related with refactoring
test infrastructure or not. You could reconsider when you spin for next
patch set (as you said, might refactor test infra).
In case you still want to keep this patch as it is, it would be fine for
me and you could add my reviewed tag:
