From f3f47a6768a29448866da4422b6f6bee485c947f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2008 16:49:58 -0800 Subject: tracing: add "power-tracer": C/P state tracer to help power optimization Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used, so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state code is making, rather than the too high level "average" that we have today. An example way of using this is: mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled sleep 1 echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | perl scripts/trace/cstate.pl > out.svg Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel/cpu') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c index 8e48c5d4467..88ea02dcb62 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c @@ -33,6 +33,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include @@ -391,6 +392,7 @@ static int acpi_cpufreq_target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, unsigned int next_perf_state = 0; /* Index into perf table */ unsigned int i; int result = 0; + struct power_trace it; dprintk("acpi_cpufreq_target %d (%d)\n", target_freq, policy->cpu); @@ -427,6 +429,8 @@ static int acpi_cpufreq_target(struct cpufreq_policy *policy, } } + trace_power_mark(&it, POWER_PSTATE, next_perf_state); + switch (data->cpu_feature) { case SYSTEM_INTEL_MSR_CAPABLE: cmd.type = SYSTEM_INTEL_MSR_CAPABLE; -- cgit v1.2.3 From c2724775ce57c98b8af9694857b941dc61056516 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Metzger Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 13:49:59 +0100 Subject: x86, bts: provide in-kernel branch-trace interface Impact: cleanup Move the BTS bits from ptrace.c into ds.c.

On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime. Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too. Changes on v2: We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing. This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper function used at this stage.
