Thanks, something similar to that might well have solved my original
problem.
(When I try the script, stap complains about the lack of the kernel
debuginfo package, which of course doesn't exist for my self-built
kernel. After hunting around on the web for 10 minutes, I'm still no
closer to resolving this. But I look forward to playing with
systemtap once I get past that problem.)
Nonetheless, while systemtap might provide an objection to adding
per-task context switch counters to the kernel, it doesn't answer the
question, since we do have these counters, why not expose them in the
normal way?
