Subject: Re: [PATCH perf-tools-next v12 05/10] perf ftrace: Support context switch tracking in function graph tracer
Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 09:45:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sashiko-outbox-184832@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261026025735.546101-6-atomlin@atomlin.com>
> When tracing multiple tasks across multiple CPUs, kernel context switches
> cause different threads of execution to interleave on the same CPU. Without
> context switch awareness, interleaved function calls corrupt the tracked
> call stack.
>
> Add context switch detection and per-task state tracking:
>
> 1. Context switch banner parsing
>
> Implement parse_context_switch() to parse context switch banners
> (e.g. " 0) <idle>-0 => migrati-19") in the trace stream, extracting
> the CPU number and both outgoing and incoming task PIDs.
>
> 2. Task state rekeying and migration
>
> [ ... ]
> when context-switch banners are absent.
