3 * latencytop.c: Latency display infrastructure
5 * (C) Copyright 2008 Intel Corporation
10 * CONFIG_LATENCYTOP enables a kernel latency tracking infrastructure that is
11 * used by the "latencytop" userspace tool. The latency that is tracked is not
12 * the 'traditional' interrupt latency (which is primarily caused by something
13 * else consuming CPU), but instead, it is the latency an application encounters
14 * because the kernel sleeps on its behalf for various reasons.
16 * This code tracks 2 levels of statistics:
17 * 1) System level latency
18 * 2) Per process latency
20 * The latency is stored in fixed sized data structures in an accumulated form;
21 * if the "same" latency cause is hit twice, this will be tracked as one entry
22 * in the data structure. Both the count, total accumulated latency and maximum
23 * latency are tracked in this data structure. When the fixed size structure is
24 * full, no new causes are tracked until the buffer is flushed by writing to
25 * the /proc file; the userspace tool does this on a regular basis.
27 * A latency cause is identified by a stringified backtrace at the point that
28 * the scheduler gets invoked. The userland tool will use this string to
29 * identify the cause of the latency in human readable form.
31 * The information is exported via /proc/latency_stats and /proc/<pid>/latency.
32 * These files look like this:
34 * Latency Top version : v0.1
35 * 70 59433 4897 i915_irq_wait drm_ioctl vfs_ioctl do_vfs_ioctl sys_ioctl
37 * | | | +----> the stringified backtrace
38 * | | +---------> The maximum latency for this entry in microseconds
39 * | +--------------> The accumulated latency for this entry (microseconds)
40 * +-------------------> The number of times this entry is hit
42 * (note: the average latency is the accumulated latency divided by the number
