It is great for startup sequence dependencies and wall clock, but the times shown there are not reflecting the CPU utilization (AFAIK). I wasn’t aware of systemd-bootchart program (Thanks James). Couple of screen shots I have found online seems very promising to figure out the process CPU utilization. I believe something similar can be achieved with lttng. I wonder what are the differences/advantages of systemd-bootchart compared to lttng. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Umut<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <div id="mail-editor-reference-message-container"> <div> <div> <div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">From: </span></b><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">systemd-devel <systemd-devel-bounces@lists.freedesktop.org> on behalf of James Muir (jamesmui) <jamesmui@cisco.com><br> <b>Date: </b>Thursday, 16 January 2025 at 05:49<br> <b>To: </b>systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org <systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org><br> <b>Subject: </b>Re: [systemd-devel] systemd-bootchart, switch-root breakage<o:p></o:p></span></p> </div> <div> <div id="mail-editor-reference-message-container"> <div> <div> <p class="MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt">> </span></b><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:12.0pt">Isn't systemd-bootchart, like, dead?
