From 101592b4904ecf6b8ed2a4784d41d180319d95a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Budankov Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 10:25:32 +0300 Subject: perf/core: Store context switch out type in PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] Store preempting context switch out event into Perf trace as a part of PERF_RECORD_SWITCH[_CPU_WIDE] record. Percentage of preempting and non-preempting context switches help understanding the nature of workloads (CPU or IO bound) that are running on a machine; The event is treated as preemption one when task->state value of the thread being switched out is TASK_RUNNING. Event type encoding is implemented using PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_PREEMPT bit; Signed-off-by: Alexey Budankov Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/9ff84e83-a0ca-dd82-a6d0-cb951689be74@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- kernel/events/core.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/events/core.c b/kernel/events/core.c index 2d5fe26551f8..1bae80aaabfb 100644 --- a/kernel/events/core.c +++ b/kernel/events/core.c @@ -7587,6 +7587,10 @@ static void perf_event_switch(struct task_struct *task, }, }; + if (!sched_in && task->state == TASK_RUNNING) + switch_event.event_id.header.misc |= + PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT_PREEMPT; + perf_iterate_sb(perf_event_switch_output, &switch_event, NULL); -- cgit v1.2.3
