Re: [PATCH] sched/debug: Show intergroup and hierarchy sum wait time of a task group

Hi, Peter
I think hierarchy wait time for task groups is worth accounting
despite with a little extra overhead. Because we can evaluate task
groups' condition with a more direct metric. We cannot get the real
situation just with some general metrics, like idle or loadavg, since
their value is decreased with the elapse of time. So, I think general
metrics cannot satisify the request for task groups.

Thanks
