Andrew,
What is the priority for that fix? Should we also disable perf test case for the time perf is unavailable?

HI,

I ran "sudo perf test" on my X86 PC, and most tests fail. It is not
clear to me if the test is useful. Perhaps we can disable the yaml
test and see if anyone asks us to add it back...

Riku,

I ran `perf test' on x86 and most test fail too. But if I run with sudo, then most pass:

$ sudo perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED!
2: detect open syscall event: Ok
3: detect open syscall event on all cpus: Ok
4: read samples using the mmap interface: Ok
5: parse events tests: Ok
6: x86 rdpmc test: Ok
7: Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields: Ok
8: Test perf pmu format parsing: Ok

I looked into the build failure a little: for me, it appears that perf is being compiled with /usr/bin/gcc. Using a devshell and invoking make explicitly with ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-oe-gnu the build progressed a little further but I subsequently ran into issues with -fstack-protector being set (and not supported by the toolchain) in addition to other build failures in the scripting parts of the perf tree.

Milosz, et al: now that we have this bug any objections to removing perf from the tests?

Argh! Scrap my comment in #5.

I just propagated the same sstate issue I/we had when compiling openjdk. I copied the toolchain from another build, but that build is too old. Will rebuild from scratch...

I'd rather see perf fixed. It's not only OE that is affected.

There's a stand-alone perf recipe in oe-core, maybe that works well enough for the tests.
