SubjectTracing power_end on kernel 2.6.32.8
From
Date
Hi,
I have a question regarding the event "power/power_end".
For the standard linux kernel (2.6.32.8), it's just not reported -
neither for the /sys/kernel/debug/tracing nor for the sys_perf_open
approach.

System:
Intel Core 2 Quad,
Kernel 2.6.32.8,
for sys_perf_open:always using sampling counters,
(Kernel 2.6.33-rcX should show the same behavior)

After finding "my" c-state procedure in arch/x86/kernel/process.c
(which was "static void mwait_idle(void)" btw), I added a
trace_power_end call on the correct line:
...
else
local_irq_enable();
} else
...
->
...
else
local_irq_enable();
trace_power_end(0);
} else
...
Now the event was reported on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, but still not
for sys_perf_open.

Then I had the idea, that trace_power_end's argument should be the same
as the 2nd argument of the previous power_start.

That worked.

However, things to be done are: add trace_power_end's to some
process.c's procedures.


Bye Robert
