# runqslower    Trace long process scheduling delays.
#               For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF.
#
# This script traces high scheduling delays between tasks being
# ready to run and them running on CPU after that.
#
# USAGE: runqslower [-p PID] [-t TID] [min_us]
#
# REQUIRES: Linux 4.9+ (BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT support).
#
# This measures the time a task spends waiting on a run queue for a turn
# on-CPU, and shows this time as a individual events. This time should be small,
# but a task may need to wait its turn due to CPU load.
#
# This measures two types of run queue latency:
# 1. The time from a task being enqueued on a run queue to its context switch
#    and execution. This traces ttwu_do_wakeup(), wake_up_new_task() ->
#    finish_task_switch() with either raw tracepoints (if supported) or kprobes
#    and instruments the run queue latency after a voluntary context switch.
# 2. The time from when a task was involuntary context switched and still
#    in the runnable state, to when it next executed. This is instrumented
#    from finish_task_switch() alone.

# 18-Nov-2019   Gergely Bod   BUG fix: Use bpf_probe_read_kernel_str() to extract the
#                               process name from 'task_struct* next' in raw tp code.
#                               bpf_get_current_comm() operates on the current task
#                               which might already be different than 'next'.
