Performance Stats: Kernel patch

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

 



Hello collogues,

Patches make available to the user the following new per-process (thread) performance statistics:

   * Involuntary Context Switches
   * Voluntary Context Switches
   * Number of system calls

This data is useful for detecting hyperactivity patterns between processes.

I have attached 3 patches perf_stat.patch, perf_stat_x86_64.patch and perf_stat_ppc.patch for linux-2.6.21-rc5 and corrected all notes which were before. Do you have any objections? I need your opinion again.

Best regards,
Maxim Uvarov.









Patch adds Process Performance Statistics.
