Detailed Description

Code performance monitor

The performance monitor API is built on top of the performance counter API, and as such cannot be used at the same time. With this API, programs can set probe points in different functional blocks and later obtain statistics about the execution of said functional blocks.

Macro Definition Documentation

__perf_monitor

#define __perf_monitor	(		f,
			l )

Value:

    static struct perf_monitor __perf_monitor_##l \
        __attribute__((section(".monitors"))) = { f, l, }; \
    struct perf_monitor *___perf_monitor_##l \
        __attribute__((cleanup(__stop_perf_monitor))) = \
        __start_perf_monitor(&__perf_monitor_##l)

_perf_monitor

#define _perf_monitor	(		f,
			l )

Value:

__perf_monitor(f, l)

perf_monitor

#define perf_monitor

(

)

Value:

_perf_monitor(__func__, __LINE__)

/endcond

Register a performance monitor in the current functional block

The performance monitor will run from the moment this macro is used, till the end of the functional block.

Function Documentation

__start_perf_monitor()

struct perf_monitor * __start_perf_monitor

(

struct perf_monitor *

monitor

)

__stop_perf_monitor()

void __stop_perf_monitor

(

struct perf_monitor **

monitor

)

perf_monitor_exit()

void perf_monitor_exit

(

void

)

De-initialize the performance monitor system.

After this function is called, the performance counter API can be used again.

perf_monitor_init()

void perf_monitor_init	(	perf_cntr_event_t	event1,
		perf_cntr_event_t	event2 )

Initialize the performance monitor system.

Set up the performance monitor system. Note that using the performance monitor system will conflict with any external usage of the performance counter API.

Parameters

event1	The first event mode (pef_cntr_event_t).
event2	The second event mode (pef_cntr_event_t).

perf_monitor_print()

void perf_monitor_print

(

FILE *

f

)

Print statistics about the probe points to the given file descriptor.

Parameters

f	A valid file descriptor to which the messages will be printed. Use "stdout" for the standard output.
