+ ---help---
+ A simple hardware latency detector. Use this module to detect
+ large latencies introduced by the behavior of the underlying
+ system firmware external to Linux. We do this using periodic
+ use of stop_machine to grab all available CPUs and measure
+ for unexplainable gaps in the CPU timestamp counter(s). By
+ default, the module is not enabled until the "enable" file
+ within the "hwlat_detector" debugfs directory is toggled.
+
+ This module is often used to detect SMI (System Management
+ Interrupts) on x86 systems, though is not x86 specific. To
+ this end, we default to using a sample window of 1 second,
+ during which we will sample for 0.5 seconds. If an SMI or
+ similar event occurs during that time, it is recorded
+ into an 8K samples global ring buffer until retreived.
+
+ WARNING: This software should never be enabled (it can be built
+ but should not be turned on after it is loaded) in a production
+ environment where high latencies are a concern since the
+ sampling mechanism actually introduces latencies for
+ regular tasks while the CPU(s) are being held.
