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