It seems that you are interested in analyzing wakeup latency and you are keen of digging into code, so I would like to point you to something new that may be interesting for you. We are trying to develop Python bindings for the tracing libraries, including libkshark. Here is one very simple example script that plots the distribution of the latency and generates a description of a KernelShark session directly showing the largest latency: https://github.com/vmware/trace-cruncher/blob/master/examples/sched_wakeup.py Note that this example is supposed to demonstrate the Python APIs, not to do something that is particularly useful on its own. But you should be able to easily adapt it to your own needs. The installation of the Python module is very simple. See the README here: https://github.com/vmware/trace-cruncher Please let me know if this is something interesting for you. I will be vary happy to receive patches from you for this project as well. I am pretty sure you will find bugs ;-) Once again, thanks a lot for the KernelShark patches!

If sched_wakeup or sched_wakeup_new is avaiable but sched_waking is not, then define_wakeup_event() returns true even though waking_event_ptr is null. Change find_wakeup_event() to avoid overwriting the output parameter on error so that the define_wakeup_event() returns true iff *waking_event_ptr is non-null.
