The kernel thread executing test can run on any cpu, which might be different cpu latency tracer is running on, as a result, the big latency caused by preemptirq delay test can't be detected. Therefore, the argument cpu_affinity is added to be passed to test, ensure it's running on the same cpu with latency tracer. e.g. cyclictest -p 90 -m -c 0 -i 1000 -a 3 modprobe preemptirq_delay_test test_mode=preempt delay=500 \ burst_size=3 cpu_affinity=3 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1611797713-20965-1-git-send-email-chensong_2000@189.cn Signed-off-by: Song Chen <chensong_2000@189.cn> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
