You might try the user triggered tracing which is available with Ingo's realtime preemption patches. Enable the latency tracing in the kernel confgig and echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/user_triggered_tracing then in your code you want to be checked do this before the section: gettimeofday (1, 1) and gettimeofday (1, 0) after the section you want to be checked.. Every reschedule of the task will result in a signal SIGUSR2 sent to your program and a latency trace in the syslog.. ..i think Flo -- Palimm Palimm! http://affenbande.org/~tapas/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
