I actually never felt the need for something like this, but now that it exists I can think of at least a handful of cases where it could be useful directly or indirectly. I imagine that the same infrastructure could be used for performance regression tests for example. Thanks!!! Hi Donnie,

Regarding kernel options: I enabled TASKSTATS and its dependents, although probably only TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING is needed. Confusingly, the help text claims these options are experimental, even though they don't depend on EXPERIMENTAL. Wow, this is exactly what I’ve been wanting all this time!
