perf kwork: New tool to trace time properties of kernel work (such as softirq, and workqueue)
The 'perf kwork' tool is used to trace time properties of kernel work
(such as irq, softirq, and workqueue), including runtime, latency, and
timehist, using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing
extra targets.
This is the first commit to reuse the 'perf record' framework code to
implement a simple record function, kwork is not supported currently.
Test cases:
# perf
usage: perf [--version] [--help] [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]
The most commonly used perf commands are:
<SNIP>
iostat Show I/O performance metrics
kallsyms Searches running kernel for symbols
kmem Tool to trace/measure kernel memory properties
kvm Tool to trace/measure kvm guest os
kwork Tool to trace/measure kernel work properties (latencies)
list List all symbolic event types
lock Analyze lock events
mem Profile memory accesses
record Run a command and record its profile into perf.data
<SNIP>
See 'perf help COMMAND' for more information on a specific command.
# perf kwork
Usage: perf kwork [<options>] {record}
-D, --dump-raw-trace dump raw trace in ASCII
-f, --force don't complain, do it
-k, --kwork <kwork> list of kwork to profile
-v, --verbose be more verbose (show symbol address, etc)
# perf kwork record -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.787 MB perf.data ]
