278 + Dropped: 0 + +Note, the writes are around the sleep, so ideally they will all be of 250 +microseconds. If you are wondering how there are several that are under +250 microseconds, that is because the way cyclictest works, is if one +iteration comes in late, the next one will set the timer to wake up less that +250. That is, if an iteration came in 50 microseconds late, the next wake up +will be at 200 microseconds. + +But this could easily be done in userspace. To make this even more +interesting, we can mix the histogram between events that happened in the +kernel with trace_marker. + + # cd /sys/kernel/tracing + # echo 'latency u64 lat' > synthetic_events + # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger + # echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).latency($lat) if buf == "end"' > events/ftrace/print/trigger + # echo 'hist:keys=lat,common_pid:sort=lat' > events/synthetic/latency/trigger + +The difference this time is that instead of using the trace_marker to start +the latency, the sched_waking event is used, matching the common_pid for the +trace_marker write with the pid that is being woken by sched_waking. + +After running cyclictest again with the same
