Hi, I am trying to use perf lock and am not sure if the results are correct (the bad rate is 98 %).
Is this expected behavior ? root@linux-test ~# perf --version perf version 3.12.0 root@linux-test ~# perf lock record cat /etc/issue Arch Linux \r (\l) [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.356 MB perf.data (~15533 samples) ] root@linux-test ~# perf lock report Name acquired contended total wait (ns) max wait (ns) min wait (ns) &cpuctx_lock 0 0 0 0 0 &sig->cred_guard... 0 0 0 0 0 === output for debug=== bad: 153, total: 155 bad rate: 98.709677 % histogram of events caused bad sequence acquire: 1 acquired: 0 contended: 0 release: 152 I am using the wireless-testing kernel: root@linux-test ~# uname -a Linux linux-test 3.13.0-wl-debug #197 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 21 03:19:43 IST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux lockdep is enabled: root@linux-test ~# zgrep -i lockdep /proc/config.gz CONFIG_LOCKDEP_SUPPORT=y CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP is not set Sujith -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-perf-users" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
