2017-01-03T14:11:38+00:00

There's no --signal-trigger option, also adding the code comment into record man page.

perf sched timehist: Add -I/--idle-hist option

2016-12-15T19:25:45+00:00

The --idle-hist option is to analyze system idle state so which process makes cpu to go idle. If this option is specified, non-idle events will be skipped and processes switching to/from idle will be shown. This option is mostly useful when used with --summary(-only) option. In the idle-time summary view, idle time is accounted to previous thread which is run before idle task. The example output looks like following: Idle-time summary comm parent sched-out idle-time min-idle avg-idle max-idle stddev migrations (count) (msec) (msec) (msec) (msec) % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rcu_preempt[7] 2 95 550.872 0.011 5.798 23.146 7.63 0 migration/1[16] 2 1 15.558 15.558 15.558 15.558 0.00 0 khugepaged[39] 2 1 3.062 3.062 3.062 3.062 0.00 0 kworker/0:1H[124] 2 2 4.728 0.611 2.364 4.116 74.12 0 systemd-journal[167] 1 1 4.510 4.510 4.510 4.510 0.00 0 kworker/u16:3[558] 2 13 74.737 0.080 5.749 12.960 21.96 0 irq/34-iwlwifi[628] 2 21 118.403 0.032 5.638 23.990 24.00 0 kworker/u17:0[673] 2 1 3.523 3.523 3.523 3.523 0.00 0 dbus-daemon[722] 1 1 6.743 6.743 6.743 6.743 0.00 0 ifplugd[741] 1 1 58.826 58.826 58.826 58.826 0.00 0 wpa_supplicant[1490] 1 1 13.302 13.302 13.302 13.302 0.00 0 wpa_actiond[1492] 1 2 4.064 0.168 2.032 3.896 91.72 0 dockerd[1500] 1 1 0.055 0.055 0.055 0.055 0.00 0 ...

perf tools: Explicitly document that --children is enabled by default

2016-12-07T15:00:35+00:00

The fact that the --children option is enabled by default is buried deep at the end of the help page, in the overhead calculation section. This make it explicit right where the option is listed, following the same way other default options are described Signed-off-by: Yannick Brosseau Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: kernel-team@fb.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161202160732.29058-1-scientist@fb.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
