perf sched timehist: Add -I/--idle-hist option
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) % -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- rcu_preempt[7] 2 95 550.872 0.011 5.798 23.146 7.63 0 migration/1[16] 2 1 15.558 15.558 15.558 15.558 0.00 0 khugepaged[39] 2 1 3.062 3.062 3.062 3.062 0.00 0 kworker/0:1H[124] 2 2 4.728 0.611 2.364 4.116 74.12 0 systemd-journal[167] 1 1 4.510 4.510 4.510 4.510 0.00 0 kworker/u16:3[558] 2 13 74.737 0.080 5.749 12.960 21.96 0 irq/34-iwlwifi[628] 2 21 118.403 0.032 5.638 23.990 24.00 0 kworker/u17:0[673] 2 1 3.523 3.523 3.523 3.523 0.00 0 dbus-daemon[722] 1 1 6.743 6.743 6.743 6.743 0.00 0 ifplugd[741] 1 1 58.826 58.826 58.826 58.826 0.00 0 wpa_supplicant[1490] 1 1 13.302 13.302 13.302 13.302 0.00 0 wpa_actiond[1492] 1 2 4.064 0.168 2.032 3.896 91.72 0 dockerd[1500] 1 1 0.055 0.055 0.055 0.055 0.00 0 ...
