I need to isolate an unacceptable latency resuming a primary mode task, by determining the events the events that preceeded the delay, preferably from userspace. I cannot rule out a userspace coding error contributing to the latency.
Is this a job better suited to task switch hooks, or the ipipe tracer, or perhaps yet another tool? Assuming the best tool is the ipipe tracer, because task switch hooks must be used from kernel space, how much can I learn about the user space tasks and function calls that preceeded the latency? (All the sample tracer output I've found has shown kernel function call activity.) What is the minimum ipipe patch to have useful tracer functionality? (I'm currently using Linux-2.6.17.14 + adeos-ipipe-2.6.17-i386-1.5-00 + xenomai-2.2.4 ) thanks, Jeff _______________________________________________ Xenomai-help mailing list Xenomai-help@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/xenomai-help
