tracing/function-graph-tracer: trace the idle tasks
When the function graph tracer is activated, it iterates over the task_list to allocate a stack to store the return addresses. But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using do_each_thread / while_each_thread. So we have to iterate on them manually. This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces. Examples on two cpus: 0) Xorg-4287 | 2.906 us | } 0) Xorg-4287 | 3.965 us | } 0) Xorg-4287 | 5.302 us | } ------------------------------------------ 0) Xorg-4287 => <idle>-0 ------------------------------------------ 0) <idle>-0 | 2.861 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.526 us | set_normalized_timespec(); 0) <idle>-0 | 7.201 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 8.214 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | | clockevents_program_event() { 0) <idle>-0 | | lapic_next_event() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 0) <idle>-0 | 1.546 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 2.583 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 12.435 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 13.470 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.608 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) <idle>-0 | + 23.270 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 24.336 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 25.417 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.593 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) <idle>-0 | + 41.869 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 42.906 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 95.035 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.540 us | menu_reflect(); 0) <idle>-0 | ! 100.404 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.564 us | mce_idle_callback(); 0) <idle>-0 | | enter_idle() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.526 us | mce_idle_callback(); 0) <idle>-0 | 1.757 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | | cpuidle_idle_call() { 0) <idle>-0 | | menu_select() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.525 us | pm_qos_requirement(); 0) <idle>-0 | 0.518 us | tick_nohz_get_sleep_length(); 0) <idle>-0 | 2.621 us | } [...] 1) <idle>-0 | 0.518 us | touch_softlockup_watchdog(); 1) <idle>-0 | + 14.355 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | + 22.840 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | + 25.949 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | | handle_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.511 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | | handle_edge_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.638 us | _spin_lock(); 1) <idle>-0 | | ack_apic_edge() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | | move_native_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | 1.532 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | 0.511 us | native_apic_mem_write(); ------------------------------------------ 1) <idle>-0 => cat-5073 ------------------------------------------ 1) cat-5073 | 3.731 us | } 1) cat-5073 | | run_local_timers() { 1) cat-5073 | 0.533 us | hrtimer_run_queues(); 1) cat-5073 | | raise_softirq() { 1) cat-5073 | | __raise_softirq_irqoff() { 1) cat-5073 | | /* nr: 1 */ 1) cat-5073 | 2.718 us | } 1) cat-5073 | 3.814 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
