For example: # # timerlat_load.py 1 -p 95 # # The "Timerlat IRQ" is the IRQ latency, The thread latency is the latency # for the python process to get the CPU. The Ret from user Timer Latency is # the overall latency. In other words, it is the response time for that # activation. # # This is just an example, the load is reading 20MB of data from /dev/full # It is in python because it is easy to read :-) import argparse import sys import os parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='user-space timerlat thread in Python') parser.add_argument("cpu", help='CPU to run timerlat thread') parser.add_argument("-p", "--prio", help='FIFO priority') args = parser.parse_args() try: affinity_mask = { int(args.cpu) } except: print("Invalid cpu: " + args.cpu) exit(1) try: os.sched_setaffinity(0, affinity_mask); except: print("Error setting affinity") exit(1) if (args.prio): try: param = os.sched_param(int(args.prio)) os.sched_setscheduler(0, os.SCHED_FIFO, param) except: print("Error setting priority") exit(1) try: timerlat_path = "/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu" + args.cpu + "/timerlat_fd" timerlat_fd = open(timerlat_path, 'r') except: print("Error opening timerlat fd, did you run timerlat -U?") exit(1) try: data_fd = open("/dev/full", 'r'); except: print("Error opening data fd") while True: try: timerlat_fd.read(1) data_fd.read(20*1024*1024) except: print("Leaving") break timerlat_fd.close() data_fd.close()
