tracing/fastboot: add a script to visualize the kernel boot process /…
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
… time

When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize
what is going on at which time. In addition, with the fastboot asynchronous
initcall level, it's very valuable to see which initcall gets run where
and when.

This patch adds a script to turn a dmesg into a SVG graph (that can be
shown with tools such as InkScape, Gimp or Firefox) and a small change
to the initcall code to print the PID of the thread calling the initcall
(so that the script can work out the parallelism).

# This script turns a dmesg output into a SVG graphic that shows which
# functions take how much time. You can view SVG graphics with various
# programs, including Inkscape, The Gimp and Firefox.
#
#
# For this script to work, the kernel needs to be compiled with the
# CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME configuration option enabled, and with
# "initcall_debug" passed on the kernel command line.
#
# usage:
# dmesg | perl scripts/bootgraph.pl > output.svg
