The --idle-hist option is to analyze system idle state so which process
makes cpu to go idle. If this option is specified, non-idle events will
be skipped and processes switching to/from idle will be shown.
This option is mostly useful when used with --summary(-only) option. In
the idle-time summary view, idle time is accounted to previous thread
which is run before idle task.
The example output looks like following:
Idle-time summary
comm parent sched-out idle-time min-idle
avg-idle max-idle stddev migrations
(count) (msec) (msec)
(msec) (msec) %
