[RESEND][PATCH v2] sched: Add trace_sched_waking() tracepoint to sched_ttwu_pending()
From: John Stultz
Date: Mon Mar 18 2024 - 15:29:06 EST
Zimuzo reported seeing occasional cases in perfetto traces where
tasks went from sleeping directly to trace_sched_wakeup()
without always seeing a trace_sched_waking().
Looking at the code, trace_sched_wakeup() is only called in
ttwu_do_wakeup()
The call paths that get you to ttwu_do_wakeup() are:
try_to_wake_up() -> ttwu_do_wakeup()
try_to_wake_up() -> ttwu_runnable() -> ttwu_do_wakeup()
try_to_wake_up() -> ttwu_queue() -> ttwu_do_activate() -> ttwu_do_wakeup()
sched_ttwu_pending() -> ttwu_do_activate() -> ttwu_do_wakeup()
where trace_sched_waking() is currently called only in
try_to_wake_up().
So add a trace_sched_waking() call to sched_ttwu_pending(), so
we see the same state machine transitions.
With this change, the number of unexpected state transitions in
perfetto was greatly reduced.
