The power tracer collects detailed information about C-state and P-state
|
|
transitions, instead of just looking at the high-level "average"
|
|
information.
|
|
|
|
There is a helper script found in scrips/tracing/power.pl in the kernel
|
|
sources which can be used to parse this information and create a
|
|
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) picture from the trace data.
|
|
|
|
To use this tracer:
|
|
|
|
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
|
|
echo power > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
|
|
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
|
|
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | \
|
|
perl scripts/tracing/power.pl > out.sv
