# This was implemented to find the most common causes of schedule during
# the AIO io_submit call.  It does this by recording which pids are inside
# AIO, and recording the current stack trace if one of those pids is
# inside schedule.
# When the probe exits, it prints out the 30 most common call stacks for
# schedule().
