Please see attached the kind of pytimechart output I'm trying to achieve (yes, this chart is not coherent, seems I'm still missing some traces) We basically want to have a trace point eachtime the usage_counter changes, so that I can display nice timecharts, and Arjan can have the comm of the process that eventually generated the rpm_get, in order to pinpoint it in powertop. What you dont see in the above two lines is that trace_power_device_usage(dev); actually reads the usage_count, as well as the driver and device name. Regards, -- Pierre
