Oops. I probably should have told you where you can get the tool. A link to it, and instructions, are at: https://birdcloud.org/boot-time/Boot-time_Tools > -----Original Message----- > From: Bird, Tim <Tim.Bird@xxxxxxxx> > Embedded Linux developers, > > I could really use more boot data for the initcall and boot region analysis I am doing. (I'm trying to build > a system of reference value files for an initcall duration regression test I'm writing for the Linux kernel). > > If you have a machine, or particularly any embedded dev boards (like a beagleplay, beaglebone (*), raspberry pi, etc.), it > would help me out a lot of you could run this tool: grab-boot-data.sh > > Optimally, I can get the best information if you run the tool with 'quiet' and 'initcall_debug' options > on the kernel command line, but if that's too hard to configure, you can just run grab-boot-data.sh with the '-s' option. > Please run the script sometime shortly after boot of your machine. > > Data for any machine, running any recent kernel version, is fine (any kernels pre 4.0 are not that useful). > > You will need to make up a lab name and a machine name for the machine or board you are reporting on. > I use 'tims_lab' and 'bp1' for a beagleplay in my possession. > > The tool will send data to https://birdcloud.org/boot-time/Boot_Data > > If you can send data for just one machine, that's great. If for multiple machines, that's even better. > > I'll be reporting on the boot-time regression test at ELC in June, and any data I can gather in the next > few weeks will really help me with progress towards the test and my talk. > > Thanks. > -- Tim > > P.S. If you see any problems running grab-boot-data.sh, please report them to me. Thanks.
