# runqlen Summarize scheduler run queue length as a histogram.
# For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF.
#
# This counts the length of the run queue, excluding the currently running
# thread, and shows it as a histogram.
#
# Also answers run queue occupancy.
#
# USAGE: runqlen [-h] [-T] [-Q] [-m] [-D] [interval] [count]
#
# REQUIRES: Linux 4.9+ (BPF_PROG_TYPE_PERF_EVENT support). Under tools/old is
# a version of this tool that may work on Linux 4.6 - 4.8.
