function-graph: ignore times across schedule
Impact: more accurate timings The current method of function graph tracing does not take into account the time spent when a task is not running. This shows functions that call schedule have increased costs: 3) + 18.664 us | } ------------------------------------------ 3) <idle>-0 => kblockd-123 ------------------------------------------ 3) | finish_task_switch() { 3) 1.441 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 3) 3.966 us | } 3) ! 2959.433 us | } 3) ! 2961.465 us | } This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to account for time that has elapsed while a task is scheduled out. Now we see: ------------------------------------------ 3) <idle>-0 => edac-po-1067 ------------------------------------------ 3) | finish_task_switch() { 3) 0.685 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 3) 2.331 us | } 3) + 41.439 us | } 3) + 42.663 us | } Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
