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.
20 * This code tracks 2 levels of statistics:
21 * 1) System level latency
22 * 2) Per process latency
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.
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.
35 * The information is exported via /proc/latency_stats and /proc/<pid>/latency.
36 * These files look like this:
38 * Latency Top version : v0.1
39 * 70 59433 4897 i915_irq_wait drm_ioctl vfs_ioctl do_vfs_ioctl sys_ioctl
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
46 * (note: the average latency is the accumulated latency divided by the number
