- onmax(var).snapshot()
|
||||
|
||||
The 'onmax(var).snapshot()' hist trigger action is invoked
|
||||
whenever the value of 'var' associated with a histogram entry
|
||||
exceeds the current maximum contained in that variable.
|
||||
|
||||
The end result is that a global snapshot of the trace buffer will
|
||||
be saved in the tracing/snapshot file if 'var' exceeds the current
|
||||
maximum for any hist trigger entry.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that in this case the maximum is a global maximum for the
|
||||
current trace instance, which is the maximum across all buckets of
|
||||
the histogram. The key of the specific trace event that caused
|
||||
the global maximum and the global maximum itself are displayed,
|
||||
along with a message stating that a snapshot has been taken and
|
||||
where to find it. The user can use the key information displayed
|
||||
to locate the corresponding bucket in the histogram for even more
|
||||
detail.
|
||||
|
||||
As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for
|
||||
sched_waking and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid. Whenever
|
||||
a sched_waking event occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry
|
||||
corresponding to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches
|
||||
back to that pid, the timestamp difference is calculated. If the
|
||||
resulting latency, stored in wakeup_lat, exceeds the current
|
||||
maximum latency, a snapshot is taken. As part of the setup, all
|
||||
the scheduler events are also enabled, which are the events that
|
||||
will show up in the snapshot when it is taken at some point:
|
||||
|
||||
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/enable
|
||||
|
||||
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \
|
||||
if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
|
||||
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
|
||||
|
||||
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0: \
|
||||
onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_prio,next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio, \
|
||||
prev_comm):onmax($wakeup_lat).snapshot() \
|
||||
if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
|
||||
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
|
||||
|
||||
When the histogram is displayed, for each bucket the max value
|
||||
and the saved values corresponding to the max are displayed
|
||||
following the rest of the fields.
|
||||
|
||||
If a snaphot was taken, there is also a message indicating that,
|
||||
along with the value and event that triggered the global maximum:
|
||||
|
||||
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist
|
||||
{ next_pid: 2101 } hitcount: 200
|
||||
max: 52 next_prio: 120 next_comm: cyclictest \
|
||||
prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/6
|
||||
|
||||
{ next_pid: 2103 } hitcount: 1326
|
||||
max: 572 next_prio: 19 next_comm: cyclictest \
|
||||
prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/1
|
||||
|
||||
{ next_pid: 2102 } hitcount: 1982 \
|
||||
max: 74 next_prio: 19 next_comm: cyclictest \
|
||||
prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/5
|
||||
|
||||
Snapshot taken (see tracing/snapshot). Details:

||||

|
||||
|
||||
In the above case, the event that triggered the global maximum has
|
||||
the key with next_pid == 2103. If you look at the bucket that has
|
||||
2103 as the key, you'll find the additional values save()'d along
|
||||
with the local maximum for that bucket, which should be the same
|
||||
as the global maximum (since that was the same value that
|
||||
triggered the global snapshot).
|
||||
|
||||
And finally, looking at the snapshot data should show at or near
|
||||
the end the event that triggered the snapshot (in this case you
|
||||
can verify the timestamps between the sched_waking and
|
||||
sched_switch events, which should match the time displayed in the
|
||||
global maximum):
