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.
Replace old hard-coded 16 with the new one can fix the warning, but we'd
better make the test accept both old and new sizes, then it can be
backward compatibility.
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.
