The initial test will verify that the test tables in generated pmu-events.c match against known, expected values. For known events added in pmu-events/arch/test, we need to add an entry in test_cpu_aliases_events[] or test_uncore_events[]. A sample run is as follows for x86: john@linux-3c19:~/linux> tools/perf/perf test -vv 10 10: PMU event aliases : --- start --- test child forked, pid 5316 testing event table bp_l1_btb_correct: pass testing event table bp_l2_btb_correct: pass testing event table segment_reg_loads.any: pass testing event table dispatch_blocked.any: pass testing event table eist_trans: pass testing event table uncore_hisi_ddrc.flux_wcmd: pass testing event table unc_cbo_xsnp_response.miss_eviction: pass test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- PMU event aliases: Ok Signed-off-by: John Garry <john.garry@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Cc: Joakim Zhang <qiangqing.zhang@nxp.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org> Cc: linuxarm@huawei.com [ Fixup test_cpu_events[] and test_uncore_events[] sentinels to initialize one of its members to NULL, fixing the build in older compilers ] Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1584442939-8911-5-git-send-email-john.garry@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
