tracing: Add a check_val() check before updating cond_snapshot() track_val
Without this check a snapshot is taken whenever a bucket's max is hit, rather than only when the global max is hit, as it should be. Before: In this example, we do a first run of the workload (cyclictest), examine the output, note the max ('triggering value') (347), then do a second run and note the max again. In this case, the max in the second run (39) is below the max in the first run, but since we haven't cleared the histogram, the first max is still in the histogram and is higher than any other max, so it should still be the max for the snapshot. It isn't however - the value should still be 347 after the second run. # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs if comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_prio,next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio,prev_comm):onmax($wakeup_lat).snapshot() if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger # cyclictest -p 80 -n -s -t 2 -D 2 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist { next_pid: 2143 } hitcount: 199 max: 44 next_prio: 120 next_comm: cyclictest prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/4 { next_pid: 2145 } hitcount: 1325 max: 38 next_prio: 19 next_comm: cyclictest prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/2 { next_pid: 2144 } hitcount: 1982 max: 347 next_prio: 19 next_comm: cyclictest prev_pid: 0 prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/6 Snapshot taken (see tracing/snapshot).
