perf kwork: Implement perf kwork latency
Implements framework of perf kwork latency, which is used to report time properties such as delay time and frequency. Test cases: # perf kwork lat -h Usage: perf kwork latency [<options>] -C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to profile -i, --input <file> input file name -n, --name <name> event name to profile -s, --sort <key[,key2...]> sort by key(s): avg, max, count --time <str> Time span for analysis (start,stop) # perf kwork lat -C 199 Requested CPU 199 too large. Consider raising MAX_NR_CPUS Invalid cpu bitmap # perf kwork lat -i perf_no_exist.data failed to open perf_no_exist.data: No such file or directory # perf kwork lat -s avg1 Error: Unknown --sort key: `avg1' Usage: perf kwork latency [<options>] -C, --cpu <cpu> list of cpus to profile -i, --input <file> input file name -n, --name <name> event name to profile -s, --sort <key[,key2...]> sort by key(s): avg, max, count --time <str> Time span for analysis (start,stop) # perf kwork lat --time FFFF, Invalid time span # perf kwork lat Kwork Name | Cpu | Avg delay | Count | Max delay | Max delay start | Max delay end | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: 36.570% skipped events (31537 including 0 raise, 31537 entry, 0 exit) Since there are no latency-enabled events, the output is empty.
