[PATCH 1/4] perf offcpu: Check process id for the given workload
From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Aug 11 2022 - 14:55:13 EST
Current task filter checks task->pid which is different for each
thread. But we want to profile all the threads in the process. So
let's compare process id (or thread-group id: tgid) instead.
Before:
$ sudo perf record --off-cpu -- perf bench sched messaging -t
$ sudo perf report --stat | grep -A1 offcpu
offcpu-time stats:
SAMPLE events: 2
After:
$ sudo perf record --off-cpu -- perf bench sched messaging -t
$ sudo perf report --stat | grep -A1 offcpu
offcpu-time stats:
SAMPLE events: 850
