[PATCH v3 0/2] libtraceeval: Add delta interface

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

 



From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The first iteration of libtraceeval sought out to facilitate timings
between events. For instance, the time between waking up and scheduling in
of a task (the wake up latency). But that code API quickly became
unusable, as there were several use cases that did not need the timings,
and it was awkward using it.

The libtraceeval was redesigned to be simple histograms that could be
queried for the last instance, and easily have them be joined. This worked
well.

Now this adds a new interface to only require a single traceeval again,
but with a attached simple "delta" traceeval internally. This internal
traceeval keeps track of the timestamps and calculates a delta to be used to
insert.

Man pages will come later.

- This is a basic redesign. Instead of creating a traceeval_delta instance,
  which when playing with it I found it to be too limiting in its use (although
  it was simple). This design is to just add a way to create a new key mapping
  for the start and stop events. This also allows the start to pass values to
  the stop (much like how the ftrace synthetic events work), and then these
  values can be used to insert into the main traceeval.
