I've tested to process the perf man pages with asciidoctor that is picker than asciidoc, and it revealed minor syntax errors in some documents. Namely, the title markers aren't aligned with the previous line, hence asciidoctor didn't recognize as titles. This patch corrects these markers to be processed properly.

=============

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
perf-sched - Tool to trace/measure scheduler properties (latencies)
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'perf sched' {record|latency|map|replay|script|timehist}
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
There are several variants of 'perf sched':
|
|
|
|
'perf sched record <command>' to record the scheduling events
|
|
of an arbitrary workload.
|
|
|
|
'perf sched latency' to report the per task scheduling latencies
|
|
and other scheduling properties of the workload.
|
|
|
|
'perf sched script' to see a detailed trace of the workload that
|
|
was recorded (aliased to 'perf script' for now).
|
|
|
|
'perf sched replay' to simulate the workload that was recorded
|
|
via perf sched record. (this is done by starting up mockup threads
|
|
that mimic the workload based on the events in the trace. These
|
|
threads can then replay the timings (CPU runtime and sleep patterns)
|
|
of the workload as it occurred when it was recorded - and can repeat
|
|
it a number of times, measuring its performance.)
|
|
|
|
'perf sched map' to print a textual context-switching outline of
|
|
workload captured via perf sched record. Columns stand for
|
|
individual CPUs, and the two-letter shortcuts stand for tasks that
|
|
are running on a CPU. A '*' denotes the CPU that had the event, and
|
|
a dot signals an idle CPU.
|
|
|
|
'perf sched timehist' provides an analysis of scheduling events.
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
perf sched record -- sleep 1
|
|
perf sched timehist
|
|
|
|
By default it shows the individual schedule events, including the wait
|
|
time (time between sched-out and next sched-in events for the task), the
|
|
task scheduling delay (time between wakeup and actually running) and run
|
|
time for the task:
|
|
|
|
time cpu task name wait time sch delay run time
|
|
[tid/pid] (msec) (msec) (msec)
