OK, I didn't even know the histogram worked. Which histogram did you use? all both? I'll try to implement it for upstream then, and port that over to -rt. Whenever there's a push to get part of the -rt kernel upstream, we replace what is in RT for what goes mainline. I'm trying hard to keep the same functionality, but the way it works changes a bit so we gain some more functionality while losing a bit of others. One thing is that we always trace all CPUS (except for preempt/irqs off max). Another is that we don't print traces on oops (yet). Although I did scalvage the PREEMPT_TRACE to print that. Let me know if you use all the histograms and I'll see if I can get them in tomorrow. -- Steve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rt-users" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
