From 9cc63f8bcd560c760d0b12e15bba8f81c86237cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 15:43:51 -0700 Subject: Merge branches 'expcb.2026.07.24a', 'misc.2026.07.30a', 'rcu-tasks.2026.07.30a', 'srcu.2026.08.11a' and 'torture.2026.08.14a' into HEAD Changes: Make expedited grace periods expedite normal RCU callbacks Miscellaneous fixes: * Improve diagnostic output with character task states. * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design. * Move from kmalloc() to kmalloc_obj(). * Documentation updates. * Improve handling of RCU deferred quiescent states. * Clean up unused function arguments and structure fields. * Reduce show_rcu_gp_kthreads() stack space. Tasks RCU updates: * Clean up after SRCU re-implementation of Tasks Trace RCU. * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design. * Add ->lazy_timer status to diagnostic output. * Remove an unnecessary memory barrier. * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN. * Documentation updates. * Convert cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() from macro to static inline function. SRCU updates: * Add Rust helpers for SRCU. * Avoid losing queued work at cleanup_srcu_struct() time. Torture-test updates: * Preparation work for immediate RCU priority deboosting. * Test RCU readers from real interrupt handlers (as opposed to softirq). * Simplify code through use of cpumask_next_wrap(). * Improve diagnostic output with character task states. * Add rcutorture.nwriters parameter to allow lightweight stall testing, and rcutorture.stall_only to make doing so easier. * Test an RCU Tasks Trace grace period implying an RCU grace period. * Make RCU Tasks Trace torturing track reader batches. * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN. * Plug a shuffle_tmp_mask memory leak on kthread spawn failure. --- tools/perf/python/twatch.py | 61 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 61 insertions(+) create mode 100755 tools/perf/python/twatch.py (limited to 'tools/perf/python/twatch.py') diff --git a/tools/perf/python/twatch.py b/tools/perf/python/twatch.py new file mode 100755 index 000000000..04f3db29b --- /dev/null +++ b/tools/perf/python/twatch.py @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +#! /usr/bin/env python +# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only +# -*- python -*- +# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- +# twatch - Experimental use of the perf python interface +# Copyright (C) 2011 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo +# + +import perf + +def main(context_switch = 0, thread = -1): + cpus = perf.cpu_map() + threads = perf.thread_map(thread) + evsel = perf.evsel(type = perf.TYPE_SOFTWARE, + config = perf.COUNT_SW_DUMMY, + task = 1, comm = 1, mmap = 0, freq = 0, + wakeup_events = 1, watermark = 1, + sample_id_all = 1, context_switch = context_switch, + sample_type = perf.SAMPLE_PERIOD | perf.SAMPLE_TID | perf.SAMPLE_CPU) + + """What we want are just the PERF_RECORD_ lifetime events for threads, + using the default, PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE + PERF_COUNT_HW_CYCLES & freq=1 + (the default), makes perf reenable irq_vectors:local_timer_entry, when + disabling nohz, not good for some use cases where all we want is to get + threads comes and goes...
