  To: xenomai, jan.kiszka

For Xenomai-cobalt enabled system, cobalt_switch_context means
that there is schedule and context switch in companion core(realtime
core), which we may need to do special treatment and take correct
action as main kernel sched_switch to visualize out-of-band state
of realtime tasks running in cobalt core. To achive our target,
we implement following:

  1. store corresponding cobalt_switch_context events into
     container data.
  2. modify pid stored in entry to be equal to next_pid to
     show correct color in cpu bar when cobalt_switch_context
     event happen.
  3. show blue hollow box to mark out-of-band state according to
     cobalt_switch_context events.
  4. clickable cobalt_switch_context plugin shapes.

+
+What is it?
+=============
+
+  It is Xenomai plugin for KernelShark to visualize out-of-band state
+  of realtime thread running in companion core with making use of
+  cobalt_switch_context events in trace log.
+
+  For more introductions about KernelShark , please refer to [1].
+
+How to build?
+================================
+
+Preparation:
+
+  - compile and install third party softwares that KernelShark depends on:
+      please refer to "Third Party Software" in [2].
+
+  - GIT clone:
+      git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/trace-cmd/kernel-shark.git
+
+  - build kernel-shark and install both the GUI and libkshark-devel:
+
+      cd kernel-shark/build
+      cmake ../
+      make
+      sudo make install
+
+     Note:
+       Building standlone xenomai plugin based on kernel-shark
+       depends on following patchset after kernelshark-v2.1.0:
+         kernel-shark: Install missing headers (commit 5419186f4bbad68aa16849882a8f12fa9adb22c5)
+         kernel-shark: Add KsPluginsGUI.hpp/.cpp (commit 59b5763c7c52b703e3b8e05be801f7c85365c9d3)
+         kernel-shark: Load 'ctrl' interface for user plugins (commit e35970770b71f0cc849870512a806dff96bf19e1)
+
+How to use the plugin with KernelShark?
+====================================
+
+    kernelshark -p your_path_of_libplugin_xenomai_cobalt_switch_events.so your_path_of_trace.dat
+
+What the difference is after Xenomai plug works?
+===============================================
+
+  1. For those trace log which does not include cobalt_switch_context event, you may
+     not expect that there is any difference after Xenomai plugin is loaded.
+
+  2. But when there is cobalt_switch_context event in trace log, the plugin would
+     try to analysis cobalt_switch_context event and visualize the OOB state
+     with cobalt blue hollow box in the corresponding task bar.
+
+How to check OOB state with cobalt blue hollow box?
+==================================================
+
+  1. Please check if there is cobalt_switch_context events existing in the log using
+     search boxes in the list area of kernelshark GUI.
+
+  2. When there is cobalt_switch_context events existing in the log, please goto
+     task plots dialog to choose tasks that you may want to check its OOB state by
+     clicking menu Plots->Tasks and then hit "Apply".
+
+  3. Selected tasks would be added to the bottom of the graph area as task plots.
+     You may zoom in to check if there is cobalt blue hollow box showing in
+     the corresponding task bar/plot if the time span is really large and
+     there is too much events.
+
+  4. When you double click the hollow box, there is two vertical lines
+     that marked as "Mark A" and "Mark B" which you may use to measure time of
+     running in OOB state between two cobalt_switch_context events.
+
+  Note:
+    Please refer to [1] about introduction of search boxes or task plot or  "Mark A" &
+    "Mark B" on Graph Control Area for more detailed info.
