There is obviously sched* class of ftrace event, though if one wants to measure
the latency introduced by the _driver_ than one needs to raise event from
the specific place in the driver's code.
I do not exclude the possibility that there may be even better way
to chieve this and it's already implemented in ftrace.
But I didn't see it based on what I have seen so far.
There is sched_wakeup event - I used it as a moment the sleeper is
awoken, but it is not exactly when ISR starts to run.
For example:
<idle>-0 [005] dN..3.. 335059.686293: sched_wakeup:
comm=ktimersoftd/5 pid=51 prio=98 target_cpu=005
<idle>-0 [005] dN.h3.. 335059.686310: sched_wakeup:
comm=irq/19-pcie215 pid=28912 prio=49 target_cpu=005
<idle>-0 [004] dN.h3.. 335059.686323: sched_wakeup: comm=rcuc/4
pid=42 prio=120 target_cpu=004
<idle>-0 [000] dN.h3.. 335059.686323: sched_wakeup: comm=rcuc/0
pid=10 prio=120 target_cpu=000
<idle>-0 [007] dN.h3.. 335059.686323: sched_wakeup: comm=rcuc/7
pid=66 prio=120 target_cpu=007
<idle>-0 [003] dN.h3.. 335059.686323: sched_wakeup: comm=rcuc/3
pid=34 prio=120 target_cpu=003
<idle>-0 [006] dN.h3.. 335059.686323: sched_wakeup: comm=rcuc/6
pid=58 prio=120 target_cpu=006
<idle>-0 [002] dN.h3.. 335059.686323: sched_wakeup: comm=rcuc/2
pid=26 prio=120 target_cpu=002
irq/19-pcie215-28912 [005] .....11 335059.686328: pcie215_isr: IRQ# [8568],
IRQ spurious# [0], IRQ status [00]
<idle>-0 [003] dN..3.. 335059.686334: sched_wakeup:
comm=ksoftirqd/3 pid=36 prio=120 target_cpu=003
If I used sched_wakeup I would start counting time from 335059.686310
but ISR started running at 335059.686328, i.e. 18 us later.
cheers,
Piotr
