# criticalstat  Trace long critical sections (IRQs or preemption disabled)
#               For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF. Requires kernel built with
#               CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS

 * In the below code we install tracepoint probes on preempt or
 * IRQ disable/enable critical sections and idle events, the cases
 * are combinations of 4 different states.
 * The states are defined as:
 * CSenter: A critical section has been entered. Either due to
 *          preempt disable or irq disable.
 * CSexit: A critical section has been exited. Either due to
 *         preempt enable or irq enable.
 * Ienter: The CPU has entered an idle state.
 * Iexit: The CPU has exited an idle state.
 *
 * The scenario we are trying to detect is if there is an overlap
 * between Critical sections and idle entry/exit. If there are any
 * such cases, we avoid recording those critical sections since they
 * are not worth while to record and just add noise.
