From bae43c9945ebeef15e7952e317efb02393d3bfc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:03:20 +0100 Subject: perf counters: implement PERF_COUNT_TASK_CLOCK Impact: add new perf-counter type The 'task clock' counter counts the amount of time a task is executing, in nanoseconds. It stops ticking when a task is scheduled out either due to it blocking, sleeping or it being preempted. This counter type is a Linux kernel based abstraction, it is available even if the hardware does not support native hardware performance counters.
