Subject: [zebra 17217] [PATCH] show thread CPU
Hi,
a little patch from the 'stupid preprocessor tricks' collection to record
thread statistics.
Usage: "show thread cpu [r][w][t][e][x]"
Output Fields: self explaining I hope. Type is one of RWTEX for:
Read, Write (fd threads), Timer, Event, Execute.
Overhead vs. vanilla zebra: almost nothing. Vanilla CVS zebra already
collects thread run times.
Caveats: Under linux getrusage has a granularity of 10ms, which is almost
useless in this case. Run ./configure, edit config.h and comment out
"#define HAVE_RUSAGE", this way it will use getimeofday which has a much
better granularity. IMHO this is better, as cooperative threads are
effectively running during all that wall time (dont care if CPU
utilization was 3% or 99% during the time the thread was running (an
effective rusage combined with getimeofday could give that info)).
Maybe someone can give tips for other platforms on API granularity.
TODO: change some of the calls to thread_add_$KIND to
funcname_thread_add_$KIND with a meaningfull funcname, so users will get a
better idea of what's going on.
