Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Fix skipping branch stack sampling test
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 13:19:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221028121913.745307-1-james.clark@arm.com> (raw)

Commit f4a2aade6809 ("perf tests powerpc: Fix branch stack sampling test
to include sanity check for branch filter") added a skip if certain
branch options aren't available. But the change added both -b
(--branch-any) and --branch-filter options at the same time, which will
always result in a failure on any platform because the arguments can't
be used together.

Fix this by removing -b (--branch-any) and leaving --branch-filter which
already specifies 'any'. Also add warning messages to the test and perf
tool.

Output on x86 before this fix:

   $ sudo ./perf test branch
   108: Check branch stack sampling         : Skip

After:

   $ sudo ./perf test branch
   108: Check branch stack sampling         : Ok
