[kvm-unit-tests PATCH v2 0/4] arm: pmu: Add support for PMUv3p5

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The first commit fixes the tests when running on PMUv3p5. The issue is that
PMUv3p5 uses 64-bit counters irrespective of whether the PMU is configured
for overflowing at 32 or 64-bits. Tests are currently failing [0] on
PMUv3p5 because of this. They wrongly assume that values will be wrapped
around 32-bits, but they overflow into the other half of the 64-bit
counters.

The second and third commits add new tests for 64-bit overflows, a feature
added with PMUv3p5 (PMCR_EL0.LP == 1). This is done by running all
overflow-related tests in two modes: with 32-bit and 64-bit overflows.
The fourt commit changes the value reporting to use %lx instead of %ld.

This series was tested on PMUv3p5 and PMUv3p4 using the ARM Fast Model and
kvmtool.  All tests pass on both PMUv3p5 and PMUv3p4 when using Marc's
PMUv3p5 series [0], plus the suggestion made at [1]. Didn't test AArch32.

Changes from v1 (all suggested by Alexandru):
- report counter values in hexadecimal
- s/overflow_at_64bits/unused for all chained tests
- check that odd counters do not increment when using overflow_at_64bits
  (pmcr.LP=1)
- test 64-bit odd counters overflows
- switch confusing var names in test_chained_sw_incr(): cntr0 <-> cntr1
