spinning in a loop looking for interruptions caused by

something other than the kernel. For example, if a

hwlat_detector/window - time in usecs between the start of each

iteration

config TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK
|

bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
|
|
help
|
|
This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
|
|
When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
|
|
goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
|
|
run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
|
|
it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
|
|
data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
|
|
will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
|
|
The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
|
|
to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
|
|
"START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
|
|
write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
|
|
|
|
As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
|
|
we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.

|
|
|
An example of the output:
|
|
|

It creates its own ring buffer such that it will not interfere with

any other users of the ring buffer (such as ftrace). It then creates

a producer and consumer that will run for 10 seconds and sleep for

10 seconds. Each interval it will print out the number of events

it recorded and give a rough estimate of how long each iteration took.

Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the

a thread per cpu. Each thread will write various size events

to each of the threads, where the IPI handler will also write

to the ring buffer, to test/stress the nesting ability.

If any anomalies are discovered, a warning will be displayed

The test runs for 10 seconds. This will slow your boot time

help
|
|
The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum/sizeof names
|
|
instead of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools
|
|
that use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
|
|
how to convert the string to its value.
|
|
|
|
To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
|
|
to convert an enum/sizeof into its value. If this macro is used, then
|
|
the print fmt strings will be converted to their values.
|
|
|
|
If something does not get converted properly, this option can be
|
|
used to show what enums/sizeof the kernel tried to convert.
|
|
|
|
This option is for debugging the conversions. A file is created
|
|
in the tracing directory called "eval_map" that will show the
|
|
names matched with their values and what trace event system they
|
|
belong too.
|
|
|
|
Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after
|
|
boot up or module load. With this option, they will not be freed, as
|
|
they are needed for the "eval_map" file. Enabling this option will
|
|
increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.
