add --kernel-threads-only to tools/offcputime
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Summary:
Adds `--kernel-threads-only` arg
The kernel-threads-only arg is exclusive with pid/user-threads-only via `parser.add_mutually_exclusive_group`.
The output message now indicates what we are tracing (pid/user threads/kernel threads/all threads).
Removed the --verbose arg (unused).

Test Plan:
Run with combinations of the args; validate output looks sane:

// test mutually exclusive group
```

[Running] /data/users/abirchall/bcc/tools/offcputime.py -k -u 1
usage: offcputime.py [-h] [-p PID | -k | -u] [-v] [-f] [duration]
offcputime.py: error: argument -u/--user-threads-only: not allowed with argument -k/--kernel-threads-only
```

// kernel threads only

Tracing off-CPU time (us) of PID 95929 by kernel stack for 10 secs.
```

Note that this last case (specific PID) doesn't appear to be working; I can debug that in a follow up commit.
