| 666 | This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event". |
| 667 | When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that |
| 668 | goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks |
| 669 | run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time |
| 670 | it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that |
| 671 | data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint |
| 672 | will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint. |
| 673 | The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes |
| 674 | to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of |
| 675 | "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first |
| 676 | write which is not added to the rest of the calculations. |
