Hi ,
i want to measure time spend in a callback function called from interrupt context . since the time spend will be in us / ns , what kernel apis can i use to measure it ?
also since i want to use it in interrupt context , kernel time measurement apis should not sleep . i am using embedded arm target , and tools like OProfile are not available .
can i be guided which kernel time measurement apis shall i use to measure time in a interrupt callback ?
Regards Amit Nagal
For this you can make use of ftrace.

Tools like ftrace are not available to me in my embedded arm target . So i want to use kernel apis to deal with time measurement in interrupt context . Regards Amit Nagal
