Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)e7c15cd2016-06-23 12:45:36 -0400257 spinning in a loop looking for interruptions caused by
258 something other than the kernel. For example, if a
259 System Management Interrupt (SMI) takes a noticeable amount of
260 time, this tracer will detect it. This is useful for testing
261 if a system is reliable for Real Time tasks.
262
263 Some files are created in the tracing directory when this
264 is enabled:
265
266 hwlat_detector/width - time in usecs for how long to spin for
267 hwlat_detector/window - time in usecs between the start of each

275 The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.
276
277 When the tracer is not running, it has no affect on the system,
278 but when it is running, it can cause the system to be
279 periodically non responsive. Do not run this tracer on a
280 production system.

282 To enable this tracer, echo in "hwlat" into the current_tracer
283 file. Every time a latency is greater than tracing_thresh, it will
284 be recorded into the ring buffer.

623 This option will also enable testing every syscall event.
624 It only enables the event and disables it and runs various loads
625 with the event enabled. This adds a bit more time for kernel boot
626 up since it runs this on every system call defined.

628 TBD - enable a way to actually call the syscalls as we test their

686 bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
687 help
688 This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
689 When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
690 goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
691 run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
692 it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
693 data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
694 will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
695 The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
696 to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
697 "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
698 write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
699
700 As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
701 we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.

778 To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
Jeremy Linton681bec02017-05-31 16:56:53 -0500779 to convert an enum/sizeof into its value. If this macro is used, then
