perf_events may sometimes throttle an event due to creating too many samples during a given timer tick. As of now, the perf tool will not report on throttling, which means this is a silent error. Implement a callback for the throttle and unthrottle events within the Python scripting engine, which can allow scripts to detect and report when events may have been lost due to throttling. The simplest script to report throttle events is: def throttle(*args): print("throttle" + repr(args)) def unthrottle(*args): print("unthrottle" + repr(args)) Signed-off-by: Stephen Brennan <stephen.s.brennan@oracle.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210901210815.133251-1-stephen.s.brennan@oracle.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
