Hi all,
This patch set adds support for tracing in devfreq framework. It is related
to the discussion regarding devfreq workqueue mechanism and wake-ups.
These two tracing patches have been submitted in larger patch set, which
needs more discussion. For the further discussion and development there
is a need of measurements/testing, though. It was agreed that trace events
would help. The whole discussion is here [1].
With these patches it is possible to capture current behaviour for the
devfreq subsystem and devices such as when and which workqueue is used,
on which CPU, what is the load and frequency of the device.
A few comments for the first version has been addressed here:
- moved long '/' operation to post-processing phase, according to Seven's
comments [2]
- re-ordered fields in the structure to avoid holes, according to Seven's
comments [3]
- removed unneeded variable, according to Chanwoo's comment [4]
I did not dare to add 'Reviewed-by: Chanwoo Choi <[email protected]>'
for the 1st patch, which was in [5], since the code slightly changed.
The 2nd patch has it.
Regards,
Lukasz Luba

The patch adds a new file for with trace events for devfreq
framework. They are used for performance analysis of the framework.
It also contains updates in MAINTAINERS file adding new entry for
devfreq maintainers.

This patch add basic tracing of the devfreq workqueue and delayed work.
It aims to capture changes of the polling intervals and device state.

I would pass just devfreq into the tracepoint (it will be less work by
gcc in this code path), and do all this work in the TP__fast_assign()
The string can still handle this with:
__string(dev_name, dev_name(&devfreq->dev))
And assigned:
__assign_str(dev_name, dev_name(&devfreq->dev))
But the rest of fast assign should be:
TP_fast_assign(
__entry->freq = devfreq->previous_freq;
__entry->busy_time = devfreq->last_status.busy_time;
__entry->total_time = devfreq->last_status.total_time;
__entry->polling_ms = devfreq->profile->polling_ms;
__assign_str(dev_name, dev_name(&deqfreq->dev));

I agree, it makes sense. Let me test this approach and then send v3
patches. Thank you for the review.
