perf-test(1)
============
NAME
----
perf-test - Runs sanity tests.
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'perf test [<options>] [{list <test-name-fragment>|[<test-name-fragments>|<test-numbers>]}]'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command does assorted sanity tests, initially through linked routines but
also will look for a directory with more tests in the form of scripts.
To get a list of available tests use 'perf test list', specifying a test name
fragment will show all tests that have it.
To run just specific tests, inform test name fragments or the numbers obtained
from 'perf test list'.
OPTIONS
-------
-s::
--skip::
Tests to skip (comma separated numeric list).
-v::
-vv::
-vvv::
--verbose::
With a single '-v', verbose level 1, only failing test output
is displayed. With '-vv' and higher all test output is shown.
-S::
--sequential::
Run all tests one after the other. By default "exclusive"
tests are run sequentially, but other tests are run in
parallel to speed execution.
-r::
--runs-per-test::
Run each test the given number of times, by default once. This
option can be useful to determine if a test is flaky.
-F::
--dont-fork::
Do not fork child for each test, run all tests within single process, this
sets sequential mode.
--dso::
Specify a DSO for the "Symbols" test.
-w::
--workload=::
Run a built-in workload, to list them use '--list-workloads', current ones include:
noploop, thloop, leafloop, sqrtloop, brstack, datasym and landlock.
Used with the shell script regression tests.
Some accept an extra parameter:
seconds: leafloop, noploop, sqrtloop, thloop
nrloops: brstack
The datasym and landlock workloads don't accept any.
--list-workloads::
List the available workloads to use with -w/--workload.
