Hi, ** Changed the subject now, since these issues are related to general perf commands. Following are the issues: 1) perf probe --add schedule - FAILED output: schedule is out of .text, skip it. Error: Failed to add events. what is the issue here? Sometimes it pass and sometimes it fails... Similar is the case of 'perf inject' as well. 2) perf test - 1 FAILURE 37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : FAILED! 37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Skip 37.3: Test BPF relocation checker : Skip bpf: config program 'func=SyS_epoll_wait' symbol:SyS_epoll_wait file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) bpf: config 'func=SyS_epoll_wait' is ok Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) Using /boot/vmlinux for symbols Could not open debuginfo. Try to use symbols. SyS_epoll_wait is out of .text, skip it. bpf_probe: failed to convert perf probe eventsFailed to add events selected by BPF test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Test BPF filter subtest 0: FAILED! Looks like both 1,2 are related. Since, CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not enabled, I manually copied the vmlinux to /boot/ folder. ------- Some more info: Kernel build dir is set to /lib/modules/4.9.20-sc-amd-x86-64/build set env: KBUILD_DIR=/lib/modules/4.9.20-sc-amd-x86-64/build unset env: KBUILD_OPTS include option is set to -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/include -I./arch/x86/include -I./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I./arch/x86/include/generated -I./include -I./arch/x86/include/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h set env: NR_CPUS=8 set env: LINUX_VERSION_CODE=0x40914 set env: CLANG_EXEC=/usr/bin/clang set env: CLANG_OPTIONS=-xc set env: KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS= -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/include -I./arch/x86/include -I./arch/x86/include/generated/uapi -I./arch/x86/include/generated -I./include -I./arch/x86/include/uapi -I./include/uapi -I./include/generated/uapi -include ./include/linux/kconfig.h set env: WORKING_DIR=/lib/modules/4.9.20-sc-amd-x86-64/build If you have any clue about these failure please help me.

Hi,
Thanks for your help. Yes it was a sub version issue.
Earlier, while building the kernel I left the SUBLEVEL as blank.
make -j8 bindeb-pkg SUBLEVEL=20
After passing the correct sublevel now the test is working.
But still following are failing:
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : FAILED! 37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : FAILED!
This is the error I get:
16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- test child forked, pid 7637 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named perf test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!
Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) symsrc__init: cannot get elf header. Failed to find the path for kernel: Invalid ELF file bpf_probe: failed to convert perf probe eventsFailed to add events selected by BPF test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Test BPF filter subtest 1: FAILED!
Thanks, Pintu

Hi All,
I am verifying all perf tests on Ubuntu-16 x86-64 platform using the kernel version 4.9.20. I have installed several others packages including: clang, llvm
But, when I run 'perf test' I get some FAILURE. Specially, 'perf test LLVM' is failing.
Please check the below error logs:

Basic BPF LLVM compiling test is failing. It reports that bpf could not able to read the kernel version from uname. Is it because of this that 'perf test LLVM' is failing ?
My uname says: 4.9-xxxx-amd-x86-64
'perf test LLVM' requires a well formed uname string (%d.%d.%d). Please see tools/perf/fetch_kernel_version . If your distro uses another method to report kernel version number (from your uname string, sublevel can't be determined), please help us improve that function like what we have done for ubuntu (checking /proc/version_signature).
My kernel version is: 4.9.20 (from Makefile)
So, I dont think there is any problem with kernel version.
If any body have come across this problem please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Thank You!
