perf sched latency: Add histogram and time interval options
While 'perf sched latency' reports task runtime and delay statistics
(average and maximum delay), it does not provide a visual representation
of how task wait times are distributed across latency ranges between
snapshots (start and finish of the analysis window).
The --histogram option collects CPU wait latencies (time between when
a task becomes runnable and when it gets scheduled onto a CPU) into 22
latency buckets, displaying an ASCII bar chart distribution.
The --hist-mode option configures the bucketing scheme:
- log (default). Logarithmic latency buckets ranging from
sub-microsecond (< 1 us) up to >= 1.05 seconds
- linear. Equal-width linear latency buckets
(i.e., 100 us steps up to >= 2.1 ms)
The --time option allows filtering trace event processing to a
specific time interval [start,stop].
Example histogram output excerpt:
❯ sudo perf sched latency --histogram --CPU 0
