[PATCH 0/2] tracing/hist: Add percentage histogram suffixes

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Sun Jul 31 2022 - 23:00:51 EST


Hi,

Here are a couple of patches to add .percent and .graph histogram
value suffixes to show the value in percentage and in bar-graph.

This will help us to check the trend of the histogram instantly
without the post processing tool.

Here shows the example of the percentage and the bar graph of
the runtime of the running tasks.

/sys/kernel/tracing # echo hist:keys=pid:vals=runtime.percent,runtime.graph:sort
=pid >> events/sched/sched_stat_runtime/trigger
/sys/kernel/tracing # sleep 10
/sys/kernel/tracing # cat events/sched/sched_stat_runtime/hist
# event histogram
#
# trigger info: hist:keys=pid:vals=hitcount,runtime.percent,runtime.graph:sort=pid:size=2048 [active]
#

{ pid: 8 } hitcount: 11 runtime: 4.11 runtime: #
{ pid: 9 } hitcount: 4 runtime: 1.28 runtime:
{ pid: 14 } hitcount: 10 runtime: 2.22 runtime:
{ pid: 15 } hitcount: 1 runtime: 0.07 runtime:
{ pid: 16 } hitcount: 21 runtime: 3.35 runtime: #
{ pid: 57 } hitcount: 6 runtime: 2.41 runtime: #
{ pid: 61 } hitcount: 42 runtime: 9.79 runtime: ####
{ pid: 66 } hitcount: 5 runtime: 0.69 runtime:
{ pid: 147 } hitcount: 36 runtime: 45.33 runtime: ####################
{ pid: 8548 } hitcount: 9 runtime: 17.25 runtime: #######
{ pid: 8549 } hitcount: 8 runtime: 13.43 runtime: #####
