DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
-----------
|

|
|
|
There are five variants of perf sched:
|
2009-09-13 08:51:04 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'perf sched record <command>' to record the scheduling events
|
|
|
|
of an arbitrary workload.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'perf sched latency' to report the per task scheduling latencies
|
|
|
|
and other scheduling properties of the workload.
|
|
|
|
|
2011-09-27 03:16:35 -06:00
|
|
|
'perf sched script' to see a detailed trace of the workload that
|
|
|
|
was recorded (aliased to 'perf script' for now).
|
2009-09-13 08:51:04 -06:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'perf sched replay' to simulate the workload that was recorded
|
|
|
|
via perf sched record. (this is done by starting up mockup threads
|
|
|
|
that mimic the workload based on the events in the trace. These
|
|
|
|
threads can then replay the timings (CPU runtime and sleep patterns)
|
2010-03-31 12:31:00 -06:00
|
|
|
of the workload as it occurred when it was recorded - and can repeat
|
2009-09-13 08:51:04 -06:00
|
|
|
it a number of times, measuring its performance.)

|
|
|
|
2010-11-30 18:57:18 -07:00
|
|
|
'perf sched map' to print a textual context-switching outline of
|
|
|
|
workload captured via perf sched record. Columns stand for
|
|
|
|
individual CPUs, and the two-letter shortcuts stand for tasks that
|
|
|
|
are running on a CPU. A '*' denotes the CPU that had the event, and
|
|
|
|
a dot signals an idle CPU.
