This has the advantage that (1) the platform logic does not have to provide the sched_note_* interfaces described for the previous settings. Instead, the buffering logic catches all of these. It encodes timestamps the scheduler note and adds the note to an in-memory, circular buffer. And (2) buffering the scheduler instrumentation data (versus performing some output operation) minimizes the impact of the instrumentation on the behavior of the system. If the in-memory buffer becomes full, then older notes are overwritten by newer notes. A character driver is provided which can be used by an application to read data from the in-memory, scheduler instrumentation "note" buffer. NOTE: This option is not available if critical sections are being monitor (nor if spinlocks are being monitored in SMP configuration) because there would be a logical error in the design in those cases. That error is that these interfaces call enter_ and leave_critical_section (and which us spinlocks in SMP mode). That means that each call to sched_note_get() causes several additional entries to be added from the note buffer in order to remove one entry. config DRIVER_NOTEARCH bool "Note Arch driver" ---help--- The note driver is provided by arch specific code. endchoice config DRIVER_NOTERAM_BUFSIZE int "Note RAM buffer size" depends on DRIVER_NOTERAM default 2048 ---help--- The size of the in-memory, circular instrumentation buffer (in bytes). config DRIVER_NOTERAM_DEFAULT_NOOVERWRITE bool "Disable overwrite by default" depends on DRIVER_NOTERAM default n ---help--- Disables overwriting old notes in the circular buffer when the buffer is full by default. This is useful to keep instrumentation data of the beginning of a system boot. config DRIVER_NOTECTL bool "Scheduler instrumentation filter control driver" default n depends on SCHED_INSTRUMENTATION_FILTER ---help--- If this option is selected, the instrumentation filter control device /dev/notectl is provided. endif
