核心執行緒和使用者態程序的cpu利用率過高時的除錯方法

--kworker
What is kworker? kworker
means
a Linux kernel process doing "work" (processing system calls). You can have several of them in your process list: kworker/0:1
is
the one on your first CPU core, kworker/1:1
the
one on your second etc..
Why does kworker hog your CPU? To find out why a kworker is wasting your CPU, you can create CPU backtraces: watch your processor load (with top
kworker
,
execute echo
l > /proc/sysrq-trigger
to create a backtrace. (On Ubuntu, this needs you to login with sudo
-s
). Do this several times, then watch the backtraces at the end of dmesg
output.
See what happens frequently in the CPU backtraces, it hopefully points you to the source of your problem.Example: e1000e. In my case, I found a backtrace like this nearly every time:
Call Trace: delay_tsc+0x4a/0x80 __const_udelay+0x2c/0x30 e1000_acquire_swflag_ich8lan+0xa2/0x240 [e1000e] e1000e_read_phy_reg_igp+0x29/0x80 [e1000e] e1000e_phy_has_link_generic+0x85/0x120 [e1000e] e1000_check_for_copper_link_ich8lan+0x48/0x930 [e1000e] e1000e_has_link+0x55/0xd0 [e1000e] e1000_watchdog_task+0x5e/0x960 [e1000e]
It hinted me to a problem in the e1000e
Ethernet
card module, and indeed a sudo
rmmod e1000e
made the high CPU load go away immediately [e1000e bug #26].
使用者態程序:
可以使用kill -6 pid殺掉程序,產生一個core檔案。多次執行後,基本上就能看出來哪段程式碼在佔用cpu。
