Subject: [PATCH v3] ps: Add support to "ps -l|-m" to
properly display process
Message-ID: <20220302213745.GA868@raspberrypi>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
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.
Thank you for the update, Austin.
If the task is migraged, the value of the 'task_struct.se.exec_start ' will be set to zero and may be updated in the next scheduling with the new time. In this case, does the patch still work well as expected?
Thanks.
Lianbo
With this patch, "ps -l|-m" option works well without CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS or
CONFIG_SCHED_INFO.
