Thank you for thinking about needs of the frace options using cyclictest. As you said, I think that most rt developers will need ftrace utility based on command line for tuning internal kernel latencies in their complicated realtime system. Maybe, If cyclictest is written by contribution of many developers successfully, Most peoples will use this cyclictest utility generally. In special, Interested developers will make gui based cyclictest(ex:gcyclictest) utility additionally like gmplayer based on mplayer and tsclient based on rdesktop. So, I agree with your opinion absoultely. And, Clark Williams. Is a below remark right? This year is 2009 as you know. How about you modify date info from "(C) 2008-2008 " to "(C) 2008-2009". (Just my thinking...) I am happy because you append your name in cyclictest source code. In gerneal, When some developers want to send their patches and opinion, They often find author and maintainer from source code like me. < cyclictest source file> * High resolution timer test software * * (C) 2008-2008 Clark Williams <williams@xxxxxxxxxx> * (C) 2005-2007 Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 2009/4/30 Clark Williams <williams@xxxxxxxxxx>: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > I've pushed 0.37 of the rt-tests up to my git repo at: > > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/clrkwllms/rt-tests.git > > tarballs available at: > > http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/clrkwllms/rt-tests/ > > This version has a couple of fixes from GeunSik Lim > <geunsik.lim@xxxxxxxxxxx> (man page fixes and two new options for > wakeup and wakeup_rt tracing). > > After seeing that we have a never-ending stream of ftrace tracing > functions and options available to us, I decided that we need a better > way to specify the tracers.
