Subject: [PATCH 1/3] SCHEDULER: Add an interface for counting real utilization.

Since pelt takes the running time of the thread as utilization, and for
some threads, although they are running, they are not actually
processing any transactions and are in an idling state.
our goal is to count the effective working time of the thread, so as to
Calculate the true utilization of threads.

This coding style is horrific, please don't ever use that again.

Sorry. I can't figure out from the above what you are trying to achieve
and which problem this is actualy solving.

This is unreadable.

You really want to do hard coded string parsing on every invocation of
this function, which happens at least once per tick, right?

What's so special about iou-sqp?

Nothing at all. It might be special for your particular workload but its
completely irrelevant to everyone else.

We are not adding random statistics to the hotpath just because.

Please come back once you have a proper justification for imposing this
On everyone which is not using iouring at all.

Thanks
