[PATCH] Add debugging feature /proc/timer_stat
Add /proc/timer_stats support: debugging feature to profile timer expiration. Both the starting site, process/PID and the expiration function is captured. This allows the quick identification of timer event sources in a system. Sample output: # echo 1 > /proc/timer_stats # cat /proc/timer_stats Timer Stats Version: v0.1 Sample period: 4.010 s 24, 0 swapper hrtimer_stop_sched_tick (hrtimer_sched_tick) 11, 0 swapper sk_reset_timer (tcp_delack_timer) 6, 0 swapper hrtimer_stop_sched_tick (hrtimer_sched_tick) 2, 1 swapper queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn) 17, 0 swapper hrtimer_restart_sched_tick (hrtimer_sched_tick) 2, 1 swapper queue_delayed_work_on (delayed_work_timer_fn) 4, 2050 pcscd do_nanosleep (hrtimer_wakeup) 5, 4179 sshd sk_reset_timer (tcp_write_timer) 4, 2248 yum-updatesd schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 18, 0 swapper hrtimer_restart_sched_tick (hrtimer_sched_tick) 3, 0 swapper sk_reset_timer (tcp_delack_timer) 1, 1 swapper neigh_table_init_no_netlink (neigh_periodic_timer) 2, 1 swapper e1000_up (e1000_watchdog) 1, 1 init schedule_timeout (process_timeout) 100 total events, 25.24 events/sec [ cleanups and hrtimers support from Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> ] [bunk@stusta.de: nr_entries can become static] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

+ * timer_stats is based on timer_top, a similar functionality which was part of
+ * Con Kolivas dyntick patch set. It was developed by Daniel Petrini at the
+ * Instituto Nokia de Tecnologia - INdT - Manaus. timer_top's design was based
+ * on dynamic allocation of the statistics entries and linear search based
+ * lookup combined with a global lock, rather than the static array, hash
+ * and per-CPU locking which is used by timer_stats. It was written for the
+ * pre hrtimer kernel code and therefore did not take hrtimers into account.
+ * Nevertheless it provided the base for the timer_stats implementation and
+ * was a helpful source of inspiration. Kudos to Daniel and the Nokia folks
+ * for this effort.
