Demonstrations of hardirqs, the Linux eBPF/bcc version.
This program traces hard interrupts (irqs), and stores timing statistics
in-kernel for efficiency. For example:
# ./hardirqs
Tracing hard irq event time... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

eth0 11441
The HARDIRQ column prints the interrupt action name. While tracing, the eth0
hard irq action ran for 11441 microseconds (11 milliseconds) in total.
Many other interrupts are visible in the output: this is an 8 CPU system, and
some of these interrupts have a separate action per-CPU (eg, "timer",
"resched").
An interval can be provided, and also optionally a count. Eg, printing output
every 1 second, and including timestamps (-T):
# ./hardirqs -T 1 3
Tracing hard irq event time... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

This can be useful for quantifying where CPU cycles are spent among the hard
interrupts (summarized as the %irq column from mpstat(1)). The output above
shows that most time was spent processing for eth0 (network interface), which
was around 7 milliseconds per second (total across all CPUs).
Note that the time spent among the "timer" interrupts was low, and usually less
than one microsecond per second. Here's the hardirq per-second output when the
perf tool is performing a 999 Hertz CPU profile ("perf record -F 999 -a ..."):

This sheds some light into the CPU overhead of the perf profiler, which cost
around 3 milliseconds per second. Note that I'm usually profiling at a much
lower rate, 99 Hertz, which looks like this:

timer3 1825
resched3 5708
eth0 9743
Much lower (and remember to compare this to the baseline). Note that perf has
other overheads (non-irq CPU cycles, file system storage).
The distribution of interrupt run time can be printed as a histogram with the -d
option. Eg:
# ./hardirqs -d
Tracing hard irq event time... Hit Ctrl-C to end.

Sometimes you just want counts of events, and don't need the distribution
of times. You can use the -C or --count option:

USAGE message:
# ./hardirqs -h
usage: hardirqs [-h] [-T] [-N] [-C] [-d] [interval] [outputs]
Summarize hard irq event time as histograms
positional arguments:
interval output interval, in seconds
outputs number of outputs
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-T, --timestamp include timestamp on output
-N, --nanoseconds output in nanoseconds
-C, --count show event counts instead of timing
-d, --dist show distributions as histograms
examples:
./hardirqs # sum hard irq event time
./hardirqs -d # show hard irq event time as histograms
./hardirqs 1 10 # print 1 second summaries, 10 times
./hardirqs -NT 1 # 1s summaries, nanoseconds, and timestamps
