[RFC v2 00/17] perf: Add perf kwork
From: Yang Jihong
Date: Fri Jun 24 2022 - 10:06:57 EST
Sometimes, we need to analyze time properties of kernel work such as irq,
softirq, and workqueue, including delay and running time of specific interrupts.
Currently, these events have kernel tracepoints, but perf tool does not
directly analyze the delay of these events
The perf-kwork tool is used to trace time properties of kernel work
(such as irq, softirq, and workqueue), including runtime, latency,
and timehist, using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow
tracing extra targets
We also use bpf trace to collect and filter data in kernel to solve
problem of large perf data volume and extra file system interruptions.
Example usage:
1. Kwork record:
# perf kwork record -- sleep 10
[ perf record: Woken up 0 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 6.825 MB perf.data ]
2. Kwork report:
# perf kwork report -S
