Running "make check-perf" on a system with Python 3.8 (e.g., Ubuntu
20.04) runs into this Python problem:
Traceback (most recent call last):

... many times over.
The problem is that the testsuite is using time.clock(), deprecated in
Python 3.3 and finaly removed in Python 3.8. The guidelines say to
use time.perf_counter() or time.process_time() instead depending on
requirements. Looking at the current description of those functions,
at:
https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/time.html
we have:
time.perf_counter() -> float
Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a performance
counter, i.e. a clock with the highest available resolution to
measure a short duration. It does include time elapsed during
sleep and is system-wide. (...)
time.process_time() -> float
Return the value (in fractional seconds) of the sum of the
system and user CPU time of the current process. It does not
include time elapsed during sleep. It is process-wide by
definition. (...)
I'm thinking that it's just best to record both instead of picking
one. So this patch replaces the MeasurementCpuTime measurement class
with two new classes -- MeasurementPerfCounter and
MeasurementProcessTime. Correspondingly, this changes the reports in
testsuite/perftest.log -- we have two new "perf_counter" and
"process_time" measurements and the "cpu_time" measurement is gone. I
don't suppose breaking backward compatibility here is a big problem.
I suspect no one is really tracking long term performance using the
perf testsuite today. And if they are, it shouldn't be hard to adjust.
For backward compatility, with Python < 3.3, both perf_counter and
process_time use the old time.clock.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
yyyy-mm-dd Qingchuan Shi <qingchuan.shi@amd.com>
Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net>
* gdb.perf/lib/perftest/perftest.py: Import sys.
(time.perf_counter, time.process_time): Map to time.clock on
Python < 3.3.
(MeasurementCpuTime): Delete, replaced by...
(MeasurementPerfCounter, MeasurementProcessTime): .. these two new
classes.
* gdb.perf/lib/perftest/perftest.py: Import MeasurementPerfCounter
and MeasurementProcessTime instead of MeasurementCpuTime.
(TestCaseWithBasicMeasurements): Use MeasurementPerfCounter and
MeasurementProcessTime instead of MeasurementCpuTime.
