Hi,
I am doing IPsec timing measurements to find out the packet delay it introduces. For measuring the elapsed time rdtsc is used and the values are gathered in several kernel functions. Kernel source was modified by me and is based on 2.6.26. The autocorellation of the measurement data shows periodic tasks, e.g., approximately every two minutes.
Is a list of periodically performed tasks available? Already looked at /proc/timer_stats, /proc/timer_list and /proc/sys/vm/* Does anybody now tasks that get executed in that frequency?
The only option (i can think of) is to use kprobe on all functions and try to find the tasks manually. However, I think there has to be a more efficient way to perform this taks.
Please add me in CC!
-- Kind regards, Bernd
