[PATCH 1/2] kernel/latencytop: Add non-scheduler interface for latency reporting

2015-12-01 Thread Daniel Vetter
Some sources of significant amounts of latency aren't simple sleeps but instead busy-loops or a series of hundreds of small sleeps simply because the hardware can't do better. Unfortunately latencytop doesn't register these and so they slip under the radar. Hence expose a simplified interface to
