perf test: Fix false TEST_OK result for 'perf test hist'
Commit 71d6de64fedd ("perf test: Fix hist testcases when kptr_restrict is on") solves a double free problem when 'perf test hist' calling setup_fake_machine(). However, the result is still incorrect. For example: $ ./perf test -v 'filtering hist entries' 25: Test filtering hist entries : --- start --- test child forked, pid 4186 Cannot create kernel maps test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test filtering hist entries: Ok In this case the body of this test is not get executed at all, but the result is 'Ok'. Actually, in setup_fake_machine() there's no need to create real kernel maps. What we want are the fake maps. This patch removes the machine__create_kernel_maps() in setup_fake_machine(), so it won't be affected by kptr_restrict setting. Test result: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 1 $ ~/perf test -v hist 15: Test matching and linking multiple hists : --- start --- test child forked, pid 24031 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test matching and linking multiple hists: Ok [SNIP] Suggested-and-Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1452520124-2073-12-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
