Hello all,
I am using perf sched tool to analyzer sched data on my machine. But it seems that
'perf sched latency' report incorrect 'Switches'. What I did is as below.
First, record...
$ sudo perf sched record time pi 2000000 > /dev/null
Then check statistics. It says 'pi' only sched-in 1 time.
$ sudo ./perf sched latency | grep pi
compiz:4054 | 6.389 ms | 30 | avg: 0.023 ms | max: 0.122 ms | max at: 94546.021080 s
pi:4059 | 2083.241 ms | 1 | avg: 0.007 ms | max: 0.007 ms | max at: 94545.201435 s
But the sched event show 'pi' has been sched-in 7 times.
$ sudo ./perf sched script | grep pi:

Does anyone know why? Thank you! :)
