Subject: [PATCH] perf test: perf stat tests fails on s390
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 13:52:18 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902115218.2977412-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
The test case 'perf stat tests' fails on s390 z/VM machines. The
root cause is the unsupported CPU measurement facility on z/VM.
Therefore the events cycles and instructions do not exist and
are unsupported. This cause the subtest
Hide zero events stat test
to fail.
Output before:
# perf test 116
116: perf stat tests : FAILED!
=== Test Summary ===
Passed main tests : 0
Passed subtests : 0
Skipped tests : 0
Failed tests : 1
List of failed tests:
116: perf stat tests
#
Output after:
# ./perf test 116
116: perf stat tests : Ok
=== Test Summary ===
Passed main tests : 1
Passed subtests : 0
Skipped tests : 0
Failed tests : 0
#
Fixes: 64724095a33f ("perf stat: Add --hide-zero-events option to suppress zero-count events")
