[PATCH 0/5] Improve the latency tracers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Happy new year!

This series make some improments for the kernel latency tracers, especilly
for the wakeup tracers. The latency tracers will show us more useful
information. With this series, the wakeup tracers look like this
when display-graph is enabled:

# tracer: wakeup
