Native tests for 'perfprofd'. Please run with 'runtest perfprofd'
(a.k.a. "$ANDROID_BUILD_TOP"/development/testrunner/runtest.py).
Notes:
1. One of the testpoints in this test suite performs a live 'perf'
run on the device; before invoking the test be sure that 'perf'
has been built and installed on the device in /system/bin/perf
2. The daemon under test, perfprofd, is broken into a main function, a
"core" library, and a "utils library. Picture:
+-----------+ perfprofdmain.o
| perfprofd |
| main() | 1-liner; calls perfprofd_main()
+-----------+
|
v
+-----------+ perfprofdcore.a
| perfprofd |
| core | most of the interesting code is here;
| | calls into utils library when for
+-----------+ operations such as sleep, log, etc
|
v
+-----------+ perfprofdutils.a
| perfprofd |
| utils | real implementations of perfprofd_sleep,
| | perfprofd_log_* etc
+-----------+
Because the daemon tends to spend a lot of time sleeping/waiting,
it is impractical to try to test it directly. Instead we insert a
mock utilities layer and then have a test driver that invokes the
daemon main function. Picture for perfprofd_test:
+----------------+ perfprofd_test.cc
| perfprofd_test |
| | makes calls into perfprofd_main(),
+----------------+ then verifies behavior
|
v
+-----------+ perfprofdcore.a
| perfprofd |
| core | same as above
+-----------+
|
v
+-----------+ perfprofdmockutils.a
| perfprofd |
| mockutils | mock implementations of perfprofd_sleep,
| | perfprofd_log_* etc
+-----------+
The mockup versions of perfprofd_sleep() and perfprofd_log_* do
simply log the fact that they are called; the test driver can
then examine the log to make sure that the daemon is doing
what it is supposed to be doing.
