Sometimes kernel image is generated without CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS or CONFIG_SCHED_INFO.
Where relevant commit id is f6db83479932 ("sched/stat: Simplify the sched_info accounting")
- CONFIG_SCHED_INFO: KERNEL_VERSION >= LINUX(4,2,0)
- CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS: KERNEL_VERSION < LINUX(4,2,0)
Running crash-utility with above kernel image,
"ps -l" option cannot display all processes sorted with most recently-run process.
Also "ps -m" option cannot display all processes with timestamp.
crash> ps -l or crash> ps -m
ps: last-run timestamps do not exist in this kernel
Usage: ps [-k|-u|-G] [-s]
[-p|-c|-t|-[l|m][-C cpu]|-a|-g|-r|-S]
[pid | task | command] ...
Enter "help ps" for details.
This is because output of "ps -l|-m" depends on task_struct.sched_info.last_arrival.
Without CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS or CONFIG_SCHED_INFO, 'sched_info' field is not included
in task_struct. In this case we make "ps -l|-m" option to access 'exec_start'
field of sched_entity where 'exec_start' is task_struct.se.exec_start.
The 'task_struct.se.exec_start' contains the most recently-executed timestamp
when process is running in the below cases;
- enqueued to runqueue
- dequeued from runqueue
- scheduler tick is invoked
- etc
'task_struct.se.exec_start' could be one of statistics which indicates the most
recently-run timestamp of process activity.
With this patch, "ps -l|-m" option works well without CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS or
CONFIG_SCHED_INFO.
