From ae938802443732e77d01f8d5b52b900b9327ff30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 17:46:46 -0300 Subject: perf python: Support the PERF_RECORD_SWITCH event To test it check tools/perf/python/twatch.py, after following the instructions there to enable context_switch, output looks like: [root@zoo linux]# tools/perf/python/twatch.py cpu: 1, pid: 31463, tid: 31463 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31463, switch_out: 0 } cpu: 2, pid: 31463, tid: 31496 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31496, switch_out: 0 } cpu: 2, pid: 31463, tid: 31496 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31496, switch_out: 1 } cpu: 3, pid: 31463, tid: 31527 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31527, switch_out: 0 } cpu: 1, pid: 31463, tid: 31463 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31463, switch_out: 1 } cpu: 3, pid: 31463, tid: 31527 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31527, switch_out: 1 } cpu: 1, pid: 31463, tid: 31463 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31463, switch_out: 0 } ^CTraceback (most recent call last): File "tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 67, in main(context_switch = 1, thread = 31463) File "tools/perf/python/twatch.py", line 40, in main evlist.poll(timeout = -1) KeyboardInterrupt [root@zoo linux]# Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Guy Streeter Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Stephane Eranian Cc: Wang Nan Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-1ukistmpamc5z717k80ctcp2@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/python/twatch.py | 23 ++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'tools/perf/python') diff --git a/tools/perf/python/twatch.py b/tools/perf/python/twatch.py index b9d508336ae6..c235c22b107a 100755 --- a/tools/perf/python/twatch.py +++ b/tools/perf/python/twatch.py @@ -15,14 +15,14 @@ import perf -def main(): +def main(context_switch = 0, thread = -1): cpus = perf.cpu_map() - threads = perf.thread_map() + threads = perf.thread_map(thread) evsel = perf.evsel(type = perf.TYPE_SOFTWARE, config = perf.COUNT_SW_DUMMY, task = 1, comm = 1, mmap = 0, freq = 0, wakeup_events = 1, watermark = 1, - sample_id_all = 1, + sample_id_all = 1, context_switch = context_switch, sample_type = perf.SAMPLE_PERIOD | perf.SAMPLE_TID | perf.SAMPLE_CPU) """What we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events for threads, @@ -48,4 +48,21 @@ def main(): print event if __name__ == '__main__': + """ + To test the PERF_RECORD_SWITCH record, pick a pid and replace + in the following line. + + Example output: + +cpu: 3, pid: 31463, tid: 31593 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31593, switch_out: 1 } +cpu: 1, pid: 31463, tid: 31489 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31489, switch_out: 1 } +cpu: 2, pid: 31463, tid: 31496 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31496, switch_out: 1 } +cpu: 3, pid: 31463, tid: 31491 { type: context_switch, next_prev_pid: 31463, next_prev_tid: 31491, switch_out: 0 } + + It is possible as well to use event.misc & perf.PERF_RECORD_MISC_SWITCH_OUT + to figure out if this is a context switch in or out of the monitored threads. + + If bored, please add command line option parsing support for these options :-) + """ + # main(context_switch = 1, thread = 31463) main() -- cgit v1.2.3
