Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Sleep profiling
Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 15:23:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1324337005-31718-1-git-send-email-asharma@fb.com> (raw)

When debugging latency, users want to know where their code
is executing on the CPU (cycle profiling) as well as where 
it's waiting sleeping or waiting for IO. The following patch set
tries to address the latter.

Normal users can use this tracepoint without root privileges
and on a system with lots of context switches, load can be
reduced by filtering out uninteresting switches.

Sample command lines:

perf record -gPe sched:sched_switch --filter "delay > 10000" -- ./test
perf report --stdio -g graph -G
