The subtest 'Leader sampling' some time fails on s390.
- for z/VM guest: Disable the test for z/VM guest. There is no
CPU Measurement facility to run the test successfully.
- for LPAR: Use correct event names.
A detailed analysis follows here:
Now to the debugging and investigation:
1. With command
perf record -e '{cycles,cycles}:S' -- ....
the first cycles event starts sampling.
On s390 this sets up sampling with a frequency of 4000 Hz.
This translates to hardware sample rate of 1377000 instructions per
micro-second to meet a frequency of 4000 HZ.
2. With first event cycles now sampling into a hardware buffer, an
interrupt is triggered each time a sampling buffer gets full.
The interrupt handler is then invoked and debug output shows the
processing of samples. The size of one hardware sample is 32 bytes.
With an interrupt triggered when the hardware buffer page of 4KB
gets full, the interrupt handler processes 128 samples.
(This is taken from s390 specific fast debug data gathering)

3. The value is constantly increasing by the number of instructions
executed to generate a sample entry. This is the first line of the
pairs of lines. count 0x1502e8 --> 1377000
# perf script | grep 1377000 | wc -l
214
# perf script | wc -l
428
#
That is 428 lines in total, and half of the lines contain value
1377000.
4. The second event cycles is opened against the counting PMU, which
is an independent PMU and is not interrupt driven. Once enabled it
runs in the background and keeps running, incrementing silently
about 400+ counters. The counter values are read via assembly
instructions.
This second counter PMU's read call back function is called when the
interrupt handler of the sampling facility processes each sample. The
function call sequence is:
perf_event_overflow()
+--> __perf_event_overflow()
+--> __perf_event_output()
+--> perf_output_sample()
+--> perf_output_read()
+--> perf_output_read_group()
for_each_sibling_event(sub, leader) {
values[n++] = perf_event_count(sub, self);
printk("%s sub %p values %#lx\n", __func__, sub, values[n-1]);
}
The last function perf_event_count() is invoked on the second event
cylces *on* the counting PMU. An added printk statement shows the
following lines in the dmesg output:
# dmesg|grep perf_output_read_group |head -10

Summary:
- Above command starts the CPU sampling facility, with runs interrupt
driven when a 4KB page is full. An interrupt processes the 128 samples
and calls eventually perf_output_read_group() for each sample to save it
in the event's ring buffer.
- At that time the CPU counting facility is invoked to read the value of
the event cycles. This value is saved as the second value in the
sample_read structure.
- The first and odd lines in the perf script output displays the period
value between 2 samples being created by hardware. It is the number
of instructions executes before the hardware writes a sample.
- The second and even lines in the perf script output displays the number
of CPU cycles needed to process each sample and save it in the event's
ring buffer.
These 2 different values can never be identical on s390.
Since event leader sampling is not possible on s390 the perf tool will
return EOPNOTSUPP soon. Perpare the test case for that.

When the kallsyms relative base was introduced, per-CPU variable
references on x86_64 SMP were implemented as offsets into the respective
per-CPU region, rather than offsets relative to the location of the
variable's template in the kernel image, which is how other
architectures implement it.
This required kallsyms to reason about the difference between the two,
and the sign of the value in the kallsyms_offsets[] array was used to
distinguish them. This meant that negative offsets were not permitted
for ordinary variables, and so it was crucial that the relative base was
chosen such that all offsets were positive numbers.
This is no longer needed: instead, the offsets can simply be encoded as
values in the range -/+ 2 GiB, which is precisely what PC32 relocations
provide on most architectures. So it is possible to simplify the logic,
and just use _text as the anchor directly, and let the linker calculate
the final value based on the location of the entry itself.
Some architectures (nios2, extensa) do not support place-relative
relocations at all, but these are all 32-bit and non-relocatable, and so
there is no need for place-relative relocations in the first place, and
the actual symbol values can just be stored directly.
This makes all entries in the kallsyms_offsets[] array visible as
place-relative references in the ELF metadata, which will be important
when implementing ELF-based fg-kaslr.

As it is just used to waste some cycles, not being used as all, to

It uses tools/perf/include which assumes it's running from the root of
the linux kernel source tree. But you can run perf from other places
like tools/perf, then the include path won't match. We can use the
shelldir variable to locate the test script in the tree.
$ cd tools/perf
$ ./perf test dlfilter

On s390 'perf test's 'perf stat tests', subtest test_hybrid fails for
z/VM systems. The root cause is this statement:
$(perf stat -a -- sleep 0.1 2>&1 |\
grep -E "/cpu-cycles/[uH]*| cpu-cycles[:uH]* -c)
The 'perf stat' output on a s390 z/VM system is
# perf stat -a -- sleep 0.1 2>&1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
56 context-switches # 46.3 cs/sec cs_per_second
1,210.41 msec cpu-clock # 11.9 CPUs CPUs_utilized
12 cpu-migrations # 9.9 migrations/sec ...
81 page-faults # 66.9 faults/sec ...
0.100891009 seconds time elapsed
The grep command does not match any single line and exits with error
code 1.
As the bash script is executed with 'set -e', it aborts with the first
error code being non-zero.
Fix this and use 'wc -l' to count matching lines instead of 'grep ... -c'.
Output before:
# perf test 102
102: perf stat tests : FAILED!

Output after:
# perf test 102

sampling does only support event cycles. Change the group to software
