1perf-test(1) 2============ 3 4NAME 5---- 6perf-test - Runs sanity tests. 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10[verse] 11'perf test [<options>] [{list <test-name-fragment>|[<test-name-fragments>|<test-numbers>]}]' 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15This command does assorted sanity tests, initially through linked routines but 16also will look for a directory with more tests in the form of scripts. 17 18To get a list of available tests use 'perf test list', specifying a test name 19fragment will show all tests that have it. 20 21To run just specific tests, inform test name fragments or the numbers obtained 22from 'perf test list'. 23 24OPTIONS 25------- 26-s:: 27--skip:: 28 Tests to skip (comma separated numeric list). 29 30-v:: 31--verbose:: 32 Be more verbose. 33 34-S:: 35--sequential:: 36 Run tests one after the other, this is the default mode. 37 38-p:: 39--parallel:: 40 Run tests in parallel, speeds up the whole process but is not safe with 41 the current infrastructure, where some tests that compete for some resources, 42 for instance, 'perf probe' tests that add/remove probes or clean all probes, etc. 43 44-F:: 45--dont-fork:: 46 Do not fork child for each test, run all tests within single process, this 47 sets sequential mode. 48 49--dso:: 50 Specify a DSO for the "Symbols" test. 51 52-w:: 53--workload=:: 54 Run a built-in workload, to list them use '--list-workloads', current ones include: 55 noploop, thloop, leafloop, sqrtloop, brstack, datasym and landlock. 56 57 Used with the shell script regression tests. 58 59 Some accept an extra parameter: 60 61 seconds: leafloop, noploop, sqrtloop, thloop 62 nrloops: brstack 63 64 The datasym and landlock workloads don't accept any. 65 66--list-workloads:: 67 List the available workloads to use with -w/--workload. 68
