The lpp instruction is used to place the PID of the current task in the program-parameter (PP) register. The register contents is then included in the sampling data entries. The lpp instruction loads the PP register only when at least one sampling function is enabled. Otherwise it is executed as a no-op. Linux calls lpp at context switch. If the context switch happens before the sampler is enabled, the PP register is empty. That means, the PID of the task that is sampled is not stored in sampling data until the next context switch. Hence, always call lpp when enabling the sampler. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
