Demonstrations of runqlat, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.
This program summarizes scheduler run queue latency as a histogram, showing
how long tasks spent waiting their turn to run on-CPU.
Here is a heavily loaded system:
# ./runqlat

The distribution is bimodal, with one mode between 0 and 15 microseconds,
and another between 16 and 65 milliseconds. These modes are visible as the
spikes in the ASCII distribution (which is merely a visual representation
of the "count" column). As an example of reading one line: 809 events fell
into the 16384 to 32767 microsecond range (16 to 32 ms) while tracing.
I would expect the two modes to be due the workload: 16 hot CPU-bound threads,
and many other mostly idle threads doing occasional work. I suspect the mostly
idle threads will run with a higher priority when they wake up, and are
the reason for the low latency mode. The high latency mode will be the
CPU-bound threads. More analysis with this and other tools can confirm.
A -m option can be used to show milliseconds instead, as well as an interval
and a count. For example, showing three x five second summary in milliseconds:
# ./runqlat -m 5 3

This shows a similar distribution across the three summaries.
A -p option can be used to show one PID only, which is filtered in kernel for
efficiency. For example, PID 4505, and one second summaries:
# ./runqlat -mp 4505 1

For comparison, here is pidstat(1) for that process:

This is a synthetic workload that is CPU bound. It's only spending 12% on-CPU
each second because of high CPU demand on this server: the remaining time
is spent waiting on a run queue, as visualized by runqlat.
Here is the same system, but when it is CPU idle:
# ./runqlat 5 1
Tracing run queue latency... Hit Ctrl-C to end.
usecs : count distribution

Back to a microsecond scale, this time there is little run queue latency past 1
millisecond, as would be expected.
Now 16 threads are performing heavy disk I/O:
# ./runqlat 5 1

2048 -> 4095 : 13 | |
4096 -> 8191 : 10 | |
The distribution hasn't changed too much. While the disks are 100% busy, there
is still plenty of CPU headroom, and threads still don't spend much time
waiting their turn.
A -P option will print a distribution for each PID:
# ./runqlat -P

Many of these distributions have two modes: the second, in this case, is
caused by capping CPU usage via CPU shares.
USAGE message:
# ./runqlat -h
usage: runqlat.py [-h] [-T] [-m] [-P] [--pidnss] [-L] [-p PID]
[interval] [count]
Summarize run queue (scheduler) latency as a histogram
positional arguments:
interval output interval, in seconds
count number of outputs
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-T, --timestamp include timestamp on output
-m, --milliseconds millisecond histogram
-P, --pids print a histogram per process ID
--pidnss print a histogram per PID namespace
-L, --tids print a histogram per thread ID
-p PID, --pid PID trace this PID only
examples:
./runqlat # summarize run queue latency as a histogram
./runqlat 1 10 # print 1 second summaries, 10 times
./runqlat -mT 1 # 1s summaries, milliseconds, and timestamps
./runqlat -P # show each PID separately
./runqlat -p 185 # trace PID 185 only
