    perf sched: Add sched latency profiling · cdce9d73
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    Add the -l --latency option that reports statistics about the
    scheduler latencies.
    
    For now, the latencies are measured in the following sequence
    scope:
    
    - task A is sleeping (D or S state)
    - task B wakes up A
             ^
             |
             |
    
       latency timeframe
    
             |
             |
             v
    - task A is scheduled in
    
    Start by recording every scheduler events:
    
    	perf record -e sched:*
    
    and then fetch the results:
    
    	perf sched -l

    The snapshot are in nanoseconds.
    
    - Count: number of snapshots taken for the given task
    - Total: total latencies in nanosec
    - Avg  : average of latency between wake up and sched in
    - Max  : max snapshot latency
