function-graph: ignore times across schedule
Impact: more accurate timings
The current method of function graph tracing does not take into
account the time spent when a task is not running. This shows functions
that call schedule have increased costs:
3) + 18.664 us | }
------------------------------------------
3) <idle>-0 => kblockd-123
------------------------------------------
3) | finish_task_switch() {
3) 1.441 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
3) 3.966 us | }
3) ! 2959.433 us | }
3) ! 2961.465 us | }
This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to
account for time that has elapsed while a task is scheduled out.
Now we see:
------------------------------------------
3) <idle>-0 => edac-po-1067
------------------------------------------
3) | finish_task_switch() {
3) 0.685 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
3) 2.331 us | }
3) + 41.439 us | }
3) + 42.663 us | }
