Perf numa bench test fails with error:
Testcase:
./perf bench numa mem -p 2 -t 1 -P 1024 -C 0,8 -M 1,0 -s 20 -zZq --thp 1 --no-data_rand_walk
Failure snippet:
<<>>
Running 'numa/mem' benchmark:
# Running main, "perf bench numa numa-mem -p 2 -t 1 -P 1024 -C 0,8 -M 1,0 -s 20 -zZq --thp 1 --no-data_rand_walk"
perf: bench/numa.c:333: bind_to_cpumask: Assertion `!(ret)' failed.
<<>>
The Testcases uses CPU's 0 and 8. In function "parse_setup_cpu_list",
There is check to see if cpu number is greater than max cpu's possible
in the system ie via "if (bind_cpu_0 >= g->p.nr_cpus || bind_cpu_1 >=
g->p.nr_cpus) {".
But it could happen that system has say 48 CPU's, but only number of
online CPU's is 0-7. Other CPU's are offlined. Since "g->p.nr_cpus" is
48, so function will go ahead and set bit for CPU 8 also in cpumask (
td->bind_cpumask).
bind_to_cpumask function is called to set affinity using
sched_setaffinity and the cpumask. Since the CPU8 is not present, set
affinity will fail here with EINVAL.
Fix this issue by adding a check to make sure that, CPU's provided in
the input argument values are online before proceeding further and skip
the test. For this, include new helper function "is_cpu_online" in
"tools/perf/util/header.c".
Since "BIT(x)" definition will get included from header.h, remove
that from bench/numa.c

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
