Jiri reported hanging perf tests on latest acme's perf/core and bisected
it to 87f303a9f:
[jolsa@krava2 perf]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
1
[jolsa@krava2 perf]$ ./perf record -C 0 kill
Error:
You may not have permission to collect %sstats.
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid:
-1 - Not paranoid at all
0 - Disallow raw tracepoint access for unpriv
1 - Disallow cpu events for unpriv
2 - Disallow kernel profiling for unpriv
Need to let default handling kickin for workload process.

Make it explicit that the format attributes may define overlapping bit
ranges. Unfortunately this was left unspecified originally, and all the
examples show non-overlapping ranges. I don't believe this is an ABI
change, as we are defining something that was previously undefined, but
others may disagree.
The POWER8 PMU would like to define overlapping ranges, as bit ranges in
the event code have different meanings for certain events. It will also
allow us to define an overarching "event" field, that encompasses all
others.
As far as I can see perf is comfortable with this change, however I am
not sure if there are any other users of the interface.

We have a one of the event open fallback case in __perf_evsel__open
where we zero exclude_guest|exclude_host fields.
This means there's no way for attr tests to find out what's the right
value for those fields, so we need to check for both 0 and 1. Luckily we
still have other event parsing tests for those fields.

Adding automated test for testing the build process.
To run it you need to be in perf directory or specify one with PERF
variable. It's also possible to specify optional Makefile to test via MK
variable.
Whole suite is executed twice, the second time with O=/tmp/xxx option
added.
To run the whole suite:
$ make -f tests/make
- make_pure: cd . && make -f Makefile
test: test -x ./perf
- make_clean_all: cd . && make -f Makefile clean all
test: test -x ./perf
- make_python_perf_so: cd . && make -f Makefile python/perf.so
test: test -f ./python/perf.so
- make_debug: cd . && make -f Makefile DEBUG=1
test: test -x ./perf
- make_no_libperl: cd . && make -f Makefile NO_LIBPERL=1
test: test -x ./perf
You see command line for 'make_pure' test right away, and the output is
stored into 'make_pure' file.
To run simple test:
$ make -f tests/make make_debug
- make_debug: cd . && make -f Makefile DEBUG=1
test: test -x ./perf
At this moment tests checks for successfull build and for existence of
several built files. Additional after-build checks could be added.

Those _threaded() functions are needed to make hist tree handling
thread-safe, but AFAICS the only thing it does is forcing it to use
the intermediate 'collapsed' tree.
This can be acheived by setting sort__need_collapse to 1 in cmd_top() so
no need to keep those _threaded() variants.

Perf data files cannot be processed until the header is updated which is
done via an on_exit handler.
If perf is killed due to a SIGTERM it does not run the on_exit hooks
leaving the perf.data file in a random state which perf-report will
happily spin on trying to read.
As noted by Mike an easy reproducer is:
perf record -a -g & sleep 1; killall perf
Fix by catching SIGTERM like it does SIGINT.
Also need to remove the kill which was added via commit f7b7c26e.
