[PATCH 2/2] tracing, perf : add cpu hotplug trace events

From: Vincent Guittot
Date: Tue Jan 25 2011 - 03:55:11 EST


Please find below a new proposal for adding trace events for cpu hotplug.
The goal is to measure the latency of each part (kernel, architecture)
and also to trace the cpu hotplug activity with other power events. I
have tested these traces events on an arm platform.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] add cpu hotplug tracepoints

this patch adds new events for cpu hotplug tracing
* plug/unplug sequence
* core and architecture latency measurements
