      perf bench sched: Add --threaded option · a9faa0ca
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Allow the measurement of thread versus process context switch
      performance.
      
      The default stays at 'process' based measurement, like lmbench's lat_ctx
      benchmark.
      
      Sample output:
      
       comet:~/tip/tools/perf> taskset 1 ./perf bench sched pipe
       # Running sched/pipe benchmark...
       # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes
      
           Total time: 4.138 [sec]
      
             4.138729 usecs/op
               241620 ops/sec
       comet:~/tip/tools/perf> taskset 1 ./perf bench sched pipe --threaded
       # Running sched/pipe benchmark...
       # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two threads
      
           Total time: 3.667 [sec]
      
             3.667667 usecs/op
               272652 ops/sec

      perf trace: Add 'trace' alias to 'perf trace' · b52bc234
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Make 'perf trace' more accessible by aliasing it to just 'trace':

           360.354 (69.053 ms): chromium-brows/15830 futex(uaddr: 0x7fff2986bcb4, op: WAIT_BITSET|PRIV|CLKRT, val: 1, utime: 0x7fff2986bab0, val3: 4294967295) = -1 ETIMEDOUT Connection timed out
        [root@zoo linux]#
      
      I.e. looking for futex calls that take at least 15ms, system wide, during a one
      second window. Now to get callchains into 'trace' to figure out what are those
      locks :-)
