[PATCH] sleep profiling
Implement prof=sleep profiling. TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE sleeps will be taken as a profile hit, and every millisecond spent sleeping causes a profile-hit for the call site that initiated the sleep. Sample readprofile output on i386: 306 ps2_sendbyte 1.3973 432 call_usermodehelper_keys 1.9548 484 ps2_command 0.6453 790 __driver_attach 4.7879 1593 msleep 44.2500 3976 sync_buffer 64.1290 4076 do_lookup 12.4648 8587 sync_page 122.6714 20820 total 0.0067 (NOTE: architectures need to check whether get_wchan() can be called from deep within the wakeup path.) akpm: we need to mark more functions __sched. lock_sock(), msleep(), others.. akpm: the contention in do_lookup() is a surprise. Presumably doing disk reads for directory contents while holding i_mutex.
