perf test: Auto bump rlimit(MEMLOCK) for BPF test sake
I noticed that the 'perf test bpf' was failing:
# perf test bpf
41: BPF filter :
41.1: Basic BPF filtering : Skip
41.2: BPF pinning : Skip
41.3: BPF prologue generation : Skip
41.4: BPF relocation checker : Skip
# ulimit -l
64
#
Using verbose mode we get just a line bout -EPERF being returned from
libbpf's bpf_load_program_xattr(), that ends up being used in 'perf
test bpf' initial program loading capability query:
Missing basic BPF support, skip this test: Operation not permitted
Not that informative, but on a separate problem when creating BPF maps
bumping rlimit(MEMLOCK) helped, so I tried it here as well, works:
# ulimit -l 128
# perf test bpf
41: BPF filter :
41.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
41.2: BPF pinning : Ok
41.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok
41.4: BPF relocation checker : Ok
#
So use the recently added rlimit__bump_memlock() helper:
# ulimit -l 64
# perf test bpf
41: BPF filter :
41.1: Basic BPF filtering : Ok
41.2: BPF pinning : Ok
41.3: BPF prologue generation : Ok
41.4: BPF relocation checker : Ok
# ulimit -l
64
#
I.e. the bumping of memlock is restricted to the 'perf test' instance,
not changing the global value.
