  14 * CONFIG_LATENCYTOP enables a kernel latency tracking infrastructure that is
  15 * used by the "latencytop" userspace tool. The latency that is tracked is not
  16 * the 'traditional' interrupt latency (which is primarily caused by something
  17 * else consuming CPU), but instead, it is the latency an application encounters
  18 * because the kernel sleeps on its behalf for various reasons.
  19 *
  20 * This code tracks 2 levels of statistics:
  21 * 1) System level latency
  22 * 2) Per process latency
  23 *
  24 * The latency is stored in fixed sized data structures in an accumulated form;
  25 * if the "same" latency cause is hit twice, this will be tracked as one entry
  26 * in the data structure. Both the count, total accumulated latency and maximum
  27 * latency are tracked in this data structure. When the fixed size structure is
  28 * full, no new causes are tracked until the buffer is flushed by writing to
  29 * the /proc file; the userspace tool does this on a regular basis.
  30 *
  31 * A latency cause is identified by a stringified backtrace at the point that
  32 * the scheduler gets invoked. The userland tool will use this string to
  33 * identify the cause of the latency in human readable form.
  34 *
  35 * The information is exported via /proc/latency_stats and /proc/<pid>/latency.
  36 * These files look like this:
  37 *
  38 * Latency Top version : v0.1
  39 * 70 59433 4897 i915_irq_wait drm_ioctl vfs_ioctl do_vfs_ioctl sys_ioctl
  40 * |    |    |    |
  41 * |    |    |    +----> the stringified backtrace
  42 * |    |    +---------> The maximum latency for this entry in microseconds
  43 * |    +--------------> The accumulated latency for this entry (microseconds)
  44 * +-------------------> The number of times this entry is hit
  45 *
  46 * (note: the average latency is the accumulated latency divided by the number
  47 * of times)
