[PATCH v5 4/4] tracing: Histogram for delayed hrtimer offsets

From: Binoy Jayan
Date: Fri Sep 02 2016 - 08:38:17 EST


Generate a histogram of the latencies of delayed timer offsets in
nanoseconds. It shows the latency captured due to a delayed timer expire
event. It happens for example when a timer misses its deadline due to
disabled interrupts. A process if scheduled as a result of the timer
expiration suffers this latency.

The following filter(s) may be used

'hist:key=common_pid.execname:val=toffset,hitcount'
'hist:key=cpu,tcomm:val=toffset:sort=tcomm'
'hist:key=common_pid.execname,tcomm'
