Subject: [PATCH v5 3/3] ftrace: add tracepoint for itimer
Those tracepoints are wanted and useful:
1: We can detect a itimer's delay
2: We can monitor the lifecycle and behaviors of a itimer
Thus they help in analysing and debuging.
Great thanks to Thomas for giving me so many valuable advices.
There have two case:
case 1, if we use ITIMER_REAL itimer:
Example ftrace output:
main-1517 [000] 288.826521: hrtimer_start: timer=ce807544 func=it_real_fn expires=289327664443 ns softexpires=289327664443 ns
main-1517 [000] 288.826524: itimer_state: which=0 expires=0 it_value=0.500 it_interval=0.0
main-1517 [000] 288.827313: hrtimer_expire: timer=ce807544 now=289327958161 ns
main-1517 [000] 288.827314: hrtimer_cancel: timer=ce807544
main-1517 [000] 288.827315: itimer_expire: pid=1517 which=0 now=0
main-1517 [000] 288.827319: hrtimer_callback_done: timer=ce807544
main-1517 [000] 288.827463: itimer_state: which=0 expires=0 it_value=0.0 it_interval=0.0
ITIMER_REAL itime use hrtimer to calculate time, so we can cooperate with
hrtimer's tracepoint to get it's delay.
from this output information, the process set up a ITIMER_REAL
iteimr(which=0), use a hrtime which address is ce807544, we can get the
delay is 289327958161-289327664443=293718 ns
case 2, if we use ITIMER_VIRTUAL/ITIMER_PROF itimer:
Example ftrace output:
main-5409 [001] 12763.874835: itimer_state: which=1 expires=2 it_value=0.500 it_interval=0.500
main-5409 [001] 12763.883495: itimer_expire: pid=5409 which=1 now=2
main-5409 [001] 12763.883712: itimer_state: which=1 expires=0 it_value=0.0 it_interval=0.0
from this, we can know the itimer delay is 2-2=0 jiffies.
Changelog:
v1->v2:
Remove ktime_to_ns() in TP_fast_assign()
v2->v3:
Below changes are all base on Thomas's suggestion:
1: Remove ITIMER_REAL's timer address and 'state' from trace_itimer_state()
2: Don't save task's name in trace_itimer_state()
3: Save task's pid instead of task's name in trace_itimer_expire()
v3->v4:
Modify other two patches in this patchset
v4->v5:
Rebase the patch against latest tip tree
