From e36c886a0f9d624377977fa6cae309cfd7f362fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Sat, 21 Aug 2010 13:07:26 -0700 Subject: workqueue: Add basic tracepoints to track workqueue execution With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools, we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results. This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code, similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints. With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took): Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141 Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29 Work do_dbs_timer time 0.55ms wakeups 24 Process Xorg time 21.36ms wakeups 4 Timer sched_rt_period_timer time 0.01ms wakeups 1 Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/workqueue.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/workqueue.c b/kernel/workqueue.c index 2994a0e3a61c..8bd600c020e5 100644 --- a/kernel/workqueue.c +++ b/kernel/workqueue.c @@ -35,6 +35,9 @@ #include #include +#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS +#include + #include "workqueue_sched.h" enum { @@ -1790,7 +1793,13 @@ static void process_one_work(struct worker *worker, struct work_struct *work) work_clear_pending(work); lock_map_acquire(&cwq->wq->lockdep_map); lock_map_acquire(&lockdep_map); + trace_workqueue_execute_start(work); f(work); + /* + * While we must be careful to not use "work" after this, the trace + * point will only record its address. + */ + trace_workqueue_execute_end(work); lock_map_release(&lockdep_map); lock_map_release(&cwq->wq->lockdep_map); -- cgit v1.2.3
