perf sched timehist: Fix invalid period calculation
When --time option is given with a value outside recorded time, the last sample time (tprev) was set to that value and run time calculation might be incorrect. This is a problem of the first samples for each cpus since it would skip the runtime update when tprev is 0. But with --time option it had non-zero (which is invalid) value so the calculation is also incorrect. For example, let's see the followging: $ perf sched timehist time cpu task name wait time sch delay run time [tid/pid] (msec) (msec) (msec) --------------- ------ ------------------------------ --------- --------- --------- 3195.968367 [0003] <idle> 0.000 0.000 0.000 3195.968386 [0002] Timer[4306/4277] 0.000 0.000 0.018 3195.968397 [0002] Web Content[4277] 0.000 0.000 0.000 3195.968595 [0001] JS Helper[4302/4277] 0.000 0.000 0.000 3195.969217 [0000] <idle> 0.000 0.000 0.621 3195.969251 [0001] kworker/1:1H[291] 0.000 0.000 0.033 The sample starts at 3195.968367 but when I gave a time interval from 3194 to 3196 (in sec) it will calculate the whole 2 second as runtime. In below, 2 cpus accounted it as runtime, other 2 cpus accounted it as idle time. Before: $ perf sched timehist --time 3194,3196 -s | tail Idle stats: CPU 0 idle for 1995.991 msec CPU 1 idle for 20.793 msec CPU 2 idle for 30.191 msec CPU 3 idle for 1999.852 msec Total number of unique tasks: 23 Total number of context switches: 128 Total run time (msec): 3724.940 After: $ perf sched timehist --time 3194,3196 -s | tail Idle stats: CPU 0 idle for 10.811 msec CPU 1 idle for 20.793 msec CPU 2 idle for 30.191 msec CPU 3 idle for 18.337 msec Total number of unique tasks: 23 Total number of context switches: 128 Total run time (msec): 18.139 Committer notes: Further testing: Before: Idle stats: CPU 0 idle for 229.785 msec CPU 1 idle for 937.944 msec CPU 2 idle for 188.931 msec CPU 3 idle for 986.185 msec After: # perf sched timehist --time 40602,40603 -s | tail Idle stats: CPU 0 idle for 229.785 msec CPU 1 idle for 175.407 msec CPU 2 idle for 188.931 msec CPU 3 idle for 223.657 msec Total number of unique tasks: 68 Total number of context switches: 814 Total run time (msec): 97.688 # for cpu in `seq 0 3` ; do echo -n "CPU $cpu idle for " ; perf sched timehist --time 40602,40603 | grep "\[000${cpu}\].*\<idle\>" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f7 | awk '{entries++ ; s+=$1} END {print s " msec (entries: " entries ")"}' ; done CPU 0 idle for 229.721 msec (entries: 123) CPU 1 idle for 175.381 msec (entries: 65) CPU 2 idle for 188.903 msec (entries: 56) CPU 3 idle for 223.61 msec (entries: 102) Difference due to the idle stats being accounted at nanoseconds precision while the <idle> entries in 'perf sched timehist' are trucated at msec.usec.
