This trace covers some long stall of the root domain, not the maximum

Ah, some feed for the real experts.


Indeed :), comments below.


Maybe the maximum irq latency tracing is broken, I haven't tested it
with latest ipipe patch revision yet. Well, that max path should not
trigger on root-domain stalls as long as there is some higher priority
domain running - and it should have been reset on xenomai mounting. Hmm,
maybe only that reset does not work, please check by running "echo >
/proc/ipipe/trace/max" before the latency test.

Yes, that changed something. I have attached the new output listing.


You could also test if the -f option of latency works for you. You will
find the result of the back-trace freezing on max latency under
/proc/ipipe/trace/frozen. The number of back-trace points can be tuned
even after the event (only post-tracing required ahead-of-time tuning).

Seem to work. The output has been added to the attached file.

Wolfgang.

Instrumentation of the maximum IRQs-off path seems to be broken. The two
functions above were entered with hard-IRQs on, so they should have
interrupted the trace path.


You mean that something in the instrumentation of local_irq*_hw() might be broken (asm/hw_irq.h on this arch), or would some tracepoint be missing somewhere?

Hmm, the User Value on x86 would contain the IRQ number here. Some
forgotten dereferencing? Looks like a pointer.


That was intended, but merely useless actually. It's the value of the link register when the interrupt handler is branched to, and this value is always __ipipe_ret_from_exception. Will fix.

Here we should see the observed latency in User Value, reported with the
ioctl down to the driver, then to ipipe_trace_freeze. 0 indicates some
remaining minor issue here as well.

Uh? Oh, well...
