Demonstrations of offcputime, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.
This program shows stack traces that were blocked, and the total duration they
were blocked. It works by tracing when threads block and when they return to
CPU, measuring both the time they were blocked (aka the "off-CPU time") and the
blocked stack trace and the task name. This data is summarized in kernel by
summing the blocked time by unique stack trace and task name.
Here is some example output. The -K option was used to only match kernel stacks.
To explain what we are seeing: the very first stack trace looks like a page
fault (do_page_fault() etc) from the "chmod" command, and in total was off-CPU
for 13 microseconds.
# ./offcputime -K
Tracing off-CPU time (us) of all threads by kernel stack... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

The last few stack traces aren't very interesting, since they are threads that
are often blocked off-CPU waiting for work.
Do be somewhat careful with overhead: this is tracing scheduler functions, which
can be called very frequently. While this uses in-kernel summaries for
efficiency, the rate of scheduler functions can be very high (> 1,000,000/sec),
and this is performing stack walks when threads return to CPU. At some point
the overhead will be measurable.
A -p option can be used to filter (in-kernel) on a single process ID. For
example, only matching PID 26651, which is a running "dd" command:
# ./offcputime -K -p 26651
Tracing off-CPU time (us) of all threads by kernel stack... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

The stack trace shows "dd" is blocked waiting on disk I/O, as expected, for a
total of 2.4 seconds during tracing.
A duration can be added, for example, tracing for 5 seconds only:
# ./offcputime -K -p 26651 5
Tracing off-CPU time (us) of all threads by kernel stack for 5 secs.

Here, dd was blocked for 4.4 seconds out of 5. Or put differently, likely
on-CPU for about 12% of the time. Which matches the ratio seen by time(1):
# time dd if=/dev/md0 iflag=direct of=/dev/null bs=1k

A -f option will emit output using the "folded stacks" format, which can be
read directly by flamegraph.pl from the FlameGraph open source software
(https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph). Eg:

The stack traces are shown as single lines, with functions separated by
semicolons. The first entry is the task name. The 2nd column is the total
off-CPU time.
I'd save this output to a file, then move it to the system where you'll be
creating your "off-CPU time flame graphs".
