From f9b9796ade7609cd62571d38f064e20c77d31281 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arjan van de Ven Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 09:36:06 -0700 Subject: Add a script to visualize the kernel boot process / time When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize what is going on at which time. In addition, with some of the initializing going asynchronous soon, it's valuable to track/print which worker thread is executing the initialization. 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).
