On a somewhat related note ...
We (Big Blue) have a performance reporting application that would like to know how long a task sits on a runqueue before it is actually given the CPU. In other words, it wants to know how long the 'runnable task' was delayed due to contention for the CPU(s). Of course, one could get an overall feel for this based on total runqueue length. However, this app would really like this info on a per-task basis.
Does anyone else think this type of info would be useful?
A patch to compute/export this info should be straight forward to implement.
