kernel test robot reported a perf-test failure after I extended task comm
size from 16 to 24. The failure as follows,
2021-10-13 18:00:46 sudo /usr/src/perf_selftests-x86_64-rhel-8.3-317419b91ef4eff4e2f046088201e4dc4065caa0/tools/perf/perf test 15
15: Parse sched tracepoints fields : FAILED!
The reason is perf-test requires a fixed-size task comm. If we extend
task comm size to 24, it will not equil with the required size 16 in perf
test.
After some analyzation, I found perf itself can adopt to the size
change, for example, below is the output of perf-sched after I extend
comm size to 24 -
task 614 ( kthreadd: 84), nr_events: 1
task 615 ( systemd: 843), nr_events: 1
task 616 ( networkd-dispat: 1026), nr_events: 1
task 617 ( systemd: 846), nr_events: 1
$ cat /proc/843/comm
networkd-dispatcher
The task comm can be displayed correctly as expected.
Now that task comm can have a different size, then the test should accept
the two sizes as possible and pass if it is 16 or 24. In order to do
that, a new macro TASK_COMM_LEN_24 is introduced.
After this patch, the perf-test succeeds no matter task comm is 16 or
24 -
15: Parse sched tracepoints fields : Ok
This patch is a preparation for the followup patch.
