cover perf sched timehist: Introduce --idle-hist option (v2)

Hi,

This patchset implements the idle hist feature which analyze reason of system idle. Sometimes I need to investigate what makes CPUs to go idle even though I have jobs to do. It may be due to I/O, waiting on lock or whatever.

To identify the reasons it only accounts events related to idle task. Also it shows callchains when entering to idle and time how long it's in the idle. Although it's not perfect, it works well to help finding the reasons.

With --idle-hist option, only idle task's runtime is accounted to previous task (which makes the cpu go to idle). With --summary(-only) option, you can see the total idle stat by task or callchains.

* v2 changes
- check prev_pid instead of sample->pid for idle task (due to race in exit path)
- factor idle task initialization (David)

The example output looks like below:

Idle-time summary
comm parent sched-out idle-time min-idle avg-idle max-idle stddev migrations
(count) (msec) (msec) (msec) (msec) %

PATCH v2 1/6 perf sched timehist: Split is_idle_sample()

The is_idle_sample() function actually does more than determining whether sample come from idle task. Split the callchain part into save_task_callchain() to make it clearer.

Also checking prev_pid from trace data looks preferred than just checking sample->pid since it's possible, although rare, to have invalid 0 pid/tid on scheduling an exiting task.

PATCH v2 2/6 perf sched timehist: Introduce struct idle_time_data

In reply to Namhyung Kim

The struct idle_time_data is to keep idle stats with callchains entering to the idle task. The normal thread_runtime calculation is done transparently since it extends the struct thread_runtime.

PATCH v2 3/6 perf sched timehist: Save callchain when entering idle

In reply to Namhyung Kim

In order to investigate reason of idle, it needs to keep the callchains when entering to idle. This can be identified sched_switch event having next_pid as 0.

PATCH v2 4/6 perf sched timehist: Skip non-idle events when necessary

In reply to Namhyung Kim

Sometimes it only focuses on idle-related events like upcoming idle-hist feature. In this case we don't want to see other event to reduce noise.

PATCH v2 5/6 perf sched timehist: Add -I/--idle-hist option

In reply to Namhyung Kim

The --idle-hist option is to analyze system idle state so which process makes cpu to go idle. If this option is specified, non-idle events will be skipped and processes switching to/from idle will be shown.

This option is mostly useful when used with --summary(-only) option. In the idle-time summary view, idle time is accounted to previous thread which is run before idle task.

The example output looks like following:

Idle-time summary
comm parent sched-out idle-time min-idle avg-idle max-idle stddev migrations
(count) (msec) (msec) (msec) (msec) %

Hi,

This patchset implements the idle hist feature which analyze reason of system idle. Sometimes I need to investigate what makes CPUs to go idle even though I have jobs to do. It may be due to I/O, waiting on lock or whatever.

Suggested improvement: Add the length of the time window. ie., data collected (or analyzed over if --time is used) for N.M seconds. Puts the amount of idle time into perspective.

Do you mean adding an elapsed time so that it can see the cpu utilization (or something similar)? Then we need to expose the elapsed time during record or maybe just use time difference between first and last sample?

Thanks,

I was thinking tstart = time of first sample analyzed, tend = time of last sample analyzed, dt = tend - tstart.

If the analysis window (dt) is 5 seconds and each cpu is idle for 0.1 seconds of that 5 second window then the system is under high load.

The time given by the user does not necessarily correlate with a time in the file. eg., start time could be way before the file starts or end time way after.

Right, I'll keep the actual sampling window within the ptime then.

PATCH 1/2 perf sched timehist: Fix --idle-hist when no callchains

When idle hist is enabled, the itr->last_thread should be set so that it can find which thread run before idle task. But it was only set in the save_idle_callchain(). This makes idle task doesn't show up in the output when callchain is not recorded.

Before:

  $ perf sched timehist --idle-hist
  Samples do not have callchains.
             time    cpu  task name             wait time  sch delay   run time

PATCH 2/2 perf sched timehist: Fix invalid runtime in the idle hist

When --idle-hist option is used, run/wait time and sched delay value should be shown for idle task only. But due to internal accounting, a last thread has same value of next idle task's and it was shown.

In the below example, firefox after idle task has same run time of idle task's.

Yep,

Fixes 78de3657008b ("perf sched timehist: Add -I/--idle-hist option")

I guess it makes a conflict on the callchain code. In case it doesn't look obvious to resolve, please let me know..

perf sched timehist: Add -I/--idle-hist option

The --idle-hist option is to analyze system idle state so which process makes cpu to go idle. If this option is specified, non-idle events will be skipped and processes switching to/from idle will be shown.

This option is mostly useful when used with --summary(-only) option. In the idle-time summary view, idle time is accounted to previous thread which is run before idle task.

The example output looks like following:

Idle-time summary
comm parent sched-out idle-time min-idle avg-idle max-idle stddev migrations
(count) (msec) (msec) (msec) (msec) %
