[PATCH v5 3/4] tracing: Add trace_irqsoff tracepoints

From: Binoy Jayan
Date: Fri Sep 02 2016 - 08:38:20 EST


This work is based on work by Daniel Wagner. A few tracepoints are added
at the end of the critical section. With the hist trigger in place, the
hist trigger plots may be generated, with per-cpu breakdown of events
captured. It is based on linux kernel's event infrastructure.

The following filter(s) may be used

'hist:key=latency.log2:val=hitcount:sort=latency'
'hist:key=ltype,latency:val=hitcount:sort=latency if cpu==1'
'hist:key=ltype:val=latency:sort=ltype if ltype==0 && cpu==2'

Where ltype is
0: IRQSOFF latency
1: PREEMPTOFF Latency
2: Critical Timings

This captures only the latencies introduced by disabled irqs and
preemption. Additional per process data has to be captured to calculate
the effective latencies introduced for individual processes.

Initial work - latency.patch
