From 189c466f77d421aef5c196454ab2e9517af7abc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: He Kuang Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 12:28:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf tests: Fix to get negative exit codes WEXITSTATUS consists of the least significant 8 bits of the status argument, so we should convert the value to signed char if we have valid negative exit codes. And the return value of test->func() contains negative values: enum { TEST_OK = 0, TEST_FAIL = -1, TEST_SKIP = -2, }; Before this patch: $ perf test -v 1 ... test child finished with 254 ---- end ---- vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: FAILED! After this patch: $ perf test -v 1 ... test child finished with -2 ---- end ---- vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms: Skip Signed-off-by: He Kuang Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1431347316-30401-1-git-send-email-hekuang@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/tests/builtin-test.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/tests/builtin-test.c b/tools/perf/tests/builtin-test.c index 4f4098167112..f42af98a5c16 100644 --- a/tools/perf/tests/builtin-test.c +++ b/tools/perf/tests/builtin-test.c @@ -219,7 +219,7 @@ static int run_test(struct test *test) wait(&status); if (WIFEXITED(status)) { - err = WEXITSTATUS(status); + err = (signed char)WEXITSTATUS(status); pr_debug("test child finished with %d\n", err); } else if (WIFSIGNALED(status)) { err = -1;
