| * trace_workqueues: fix empty line's outputLai Jiangshan2009-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Empty lines separate cpus stat. After previous fix(trace_stat: keep original order) applied, the empty lines are displayed at incorrect position.

* | tracing: add handler to trace_statSteven Rostedt2009-03-24
|/ | | | | | | | | | Currently, if a trace_stat user wants a handle to some private data, the trace_stat infrastructure does not supply a way to do that. This patch passes the trace_stat structure to the start function of the trace_stat code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

* | tracing: Don't assume possible cpu list have continuous numbersKOSAKI Motohiro2009-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "for (++cpu ; cpu < num_possible_cpus(); cpu++)" statement assumes possible cpus have continuous number - but that's a wrong assumption. Insted, cpumask_next() should be used.

* | tracing: Don't use tracing_record_cmdline() in workqueue tracerKOSAKI Motohiro2009-03-09
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: improve workqueue tracer output Currently, /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues can display wrong and strange thread names. Why? Currently, ftrace has tracing_record_cmdline()/trace_find_cmdline() convenience function that implements a task->comm string cache. This can avoid unnecessary memcpy overhead and the workqueue tracer uses it. However, in general, any trace statistics feature shouldn't use tracing_record_cmdline() because trace statistics can display very old process. Then comm cache can return wrong string because recent process overrides the cache. Fortunately, workqueue trace guarantees that displayed processes are live. Thus we can search comm string from PID at display time. <before> % cat workqueues # CPU INSERTED EXECUTED NAME # | | | | 7 431913 431913 kondemand/7 7 0 0 tail 7 21 21 git 7 0 0 ls 7 9 9 cat 7 832632 832632 unix_chkpwd 7 236292 236292 ls Note: tail, git, ls, cat unix_chkpwd are obiously not workqueue thread. <after> % cat workqueues # CPU INSERTED EXECUTED NAME # | | | | 7 510 510 kondemand/7 7 0 0 kmpathd/7 7 15 15 ata/7 7 0 0 aio/7 7 11 11 kblockd/7 7 1063 1063 work_on_cpu/7 7 167 167 events/7 Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* trace_workqueue: use percpu data for workqueue statLai Jiangshan2009-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: use percpu data instead of a global structure Use: static DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct workqueue_global_stats, all_workqueue_stat); instead of allocating a global structure. percpu data also works well on NUMA.

* tracing: add a new workqueue tracerFrederic Weisbecker2009-01-14
Impact: new tracer The workqueue tracer provides some statistical informations about each cpu workqueue thread such as the number of the works inserted and executed since their creation. It can help to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform. For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one. It only traces statistical informations for now but it will probably later provide event tracing too. Such a tracer could help too, and be improved, to help rt priority sorted workqueue development. To have a snapshot of the workqueues state at any time, just do cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues Ie: 1 125 125 reiserfs/1 1 0 0 scsi_tgtd/1 1 0 0 aio/1 1 0 0 ata/1 1 114 114 kblockd/1 1 0 0 kintegrityd/1 1 2147 2147 events/1 0 0 0 kpsmoused 0 105 105 reiserfs/0 0 0 0 scsi_tgtd/0 0 0 0 aio/0 0 0 0 ata_aux 0 0 0 ata/0 0 0 0 cqueue 0 0 0 kacpi_notify 0 0 0 kacpid 0 149 149 kblockd/0 0 0 0 kintegrityd/0 0 1000 1000 khelper 0 2270 2270 events/0 Changes in V2: _ Drop the static array based on NR_CPU and dynamically allocate the stat array with num_possible_cpus() and other cpu mask facilities.... _ Trace workqueue insertion at a bit lower level (insert_work instead of queue_work) to handle even the workqueue barriers.
