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 --- include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h | 18 +++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h b/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h index 912b85b52344..b8e288a1f740 100644 --- a/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h +++ b/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h @@ -650,11 +650,23 @@ struct perf_event_mmap_page { #define PERF_RECORD_MISC_COMM_EXEC (1 << 13) #define PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT (1 << 13) /* - * Indicates that the content of PERF_SAMPLE_IP points to - * the actual instruction that triggered the event.
