The consumer will need to process events out of order (that is, havingįound RECORD_AUX, it will have to skip forward to the nearest sched_switch The ptrace() system call provides a means by which one process (the 'tracer') may observe and control the execution of another process (the 'tracee'), and examine and change the tracee's memory and registers. While sched_switch covers for most cases, there are two problems with it: Record is that not all pmus capable of generating AUX data need this,Īnd the opposite is *probably* also true. The reason this is not part of RECORD_AUX
#ITRACE LINUX PATCH#

Require program's object code in order to reconstruct said flow andįor that we need at least its pid/tid in the perf stream. The decoder's need to know this stemsįrom the fact that instruction flow trace decoding will almost always Running task, such as instruction tracing, the decoder needs to knowĮxactly which task is running when the event is first scheduled in,īefore the first sched_switch.
