Kernel: Implement a simple process time profiler
The kernel now supports basic profiling of all the threads in a process by calling profiling_enable(pid_t). You finish the profiling by calling profiling_disable(pid_t). This all works by recording thread stacks when the timer interrupt fires and the current thread is in a process being profiled. Note that symbolication is deferred until profiling_disable() to avoid adding more noise than necessary to the profile. A simple "/bin/profile" command is included here that can be used to start/stop profiling like so: $ profile 10 on ... wait ... $ profile 10 off After a profile has been recorded, it can be fetched in /proc/profile There are various limits (or "bugs") on this mechanism at the moment: - Only one process can be profiled at a time. - We allocate 8MB for the samples, if you use more space, things will not work, and probably break a bit. - Things will probably fall apart if the profiled process dies during profiling, or while extracing /proc/profile
