Hello all,
Changes in v4:
- [PATCH 1/4]:
* Improved support for multiple active trace instances by storing entries
that cannot be notified immediately in a linked list instead of a
single pointer. With multiple instances this could happen.
* Register trace_maxlat_fsnotify_init() with late_initcall_sync().
Previously it was piggy backed on tracer_init_tracefs() and it got
called more than once.
* Added some comments.
- [PATCH 3/4]:
* Some of the code was incorrectly added in the next patch. Improved
commit message.
- [PATCH 4/4]:
* Some code from the previous patch was incorrectly included here.
This series is meant to address two issues with the latency tracing.
The first three patches provide a method to trace latencies that always
occurs very close to each other and to differentiate between them, in spite
of the fact that the latency tracers work in overwrite mode.
[PATCH 1/4] This implement fs notification for tracing_max_latency. It
makes it possible for userspace to detect when a new latency has been
detected.
[PATCH 2/4] This extends the preemptirq_delay_test module so that it can be
used to generate a burst of closely occurring latencies.
[PATCH 3/4] This adds a user space program to the tools directory that
utilizes the fs notification feature and a randomized algorithm to print out
any of the latencies in a burst with approximately equal probability.
The last patch is not directly connected but doesn't apply cleanly on
its own:
[PATCH 4/4] This adds the option console-latency to the trace options. This
makes it possible to enable tracing of console latencies.
best regards,
Viktor
