[RFC PATCH v5 2/2] trace,smp: Add tracepoints for scheduling remotelly called functions

From: Leonardo Bras
Date: Thu Jun 15 2023 - 03:01:42 EST


Add a tracepoint for when a CSD is queued to a remote CPU's
call_single_queue. This allows finding exactly which CPU queued a given CSD
when looking at a csd_function_{entry,exit} event, and also enables us to
accurately measure IPI delivery time with e.g. a synthetic event:

$ echo 'hist:keys=cpu,csd.hex:ts=common_timestamp.usecs' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/smp/csd_queue_cpu/trigger
$ echo 'csd_latency unsigned int dst_cpu; unsigned long csd; u64 time' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/synthetic_events
$ echo \
'hist:keys=common_cpu,csd.hex:'\
'time=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:'\
'onmatch(smp.csd_queue_cpu).trace(csd_latency,common_cpu,csd,$time)' >\
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/smp/csd_function_entry/trigger

$ trace-cmd record -e 'synthetic:csd_latency' hackbench
$ trace-cmd report
