perf-sched(1)
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
perf-sched - Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf sched' {record|latency|map|replay|trace}
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
There are five variants of perf sched:
|
|
|
|
'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.
|
|
|
|
'perf sched trace' to see a detailed trace of the workload that
|
|
was recorded.
|
|
|
|
'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)
|
|
of the workload as it occurred when it was recorded - and can repeat
|
|
it a number of times, measuring its performance.)
|
|
|
|
'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.
|
|
|
|
