Subject: [PATCH 1/8] ftrace: move sched_switch enable after markers
Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:58:09 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080711005950.252598349@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080711005808.316194101@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: ftrace-sched-enable-marker-last.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2173 bytes --]
We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records
the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently
we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some
confusing traces:
# tracer: sched_switch
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
trace-cmd-3973 [00] 115.834817: 3973:120:R + 3: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [01] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 6: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [03] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 12: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S
<idle>-0 [02] 115.834910: 0:140:R ==> 3973:120:R
Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line
shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973.
Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner
output:
# tracer: sched_switch
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
<idle>-0 [02] 7922.634225: 0:140:R ==> 4790:120:R
trace-cmd-4789 [03] 7922.634225: 0:140:R + 4790:120:R
