Adding a profiler to linux kernel scheduler
 

Please help me......

I need to build a profiler for the Linux kernel scheduler.
I need to add code to the existing
Linux kernel's schedule() function so that upon every 1000th call, a sequence of information is
printed to the system log _le (/var/log/messages). This information should include:
_ the PID of the process currently running on the CPU being scheduled for,
_ the total number of tasks in the active runqueue,
_ the total number of tasks in the expired runqueue,
_ the total number of tasks waiting for I/O,
_ for each possible priority:
{ if there are no processes with this priority, do nothing
{ if there are processes with this priority, then print out:
_ the priority value,
_ for each active process of this priority:
_ the process ID,
_ the executable name,
_ the time slice left,
_ the static priority,
_ the dynamic priority,
_ the interactivity count.
_ the same for each expired process of this priority.

Example Output
After booting your kernel, sections similar to this should show up in /var/log/messages:
Sep 13 15:14:42 bluehen kernel: ~~~~~~~~~ BEGIN SCHEDULER PROFILE ~~~~~~~~~
Sep 13 15:14:42 bluehen kernel: The pid running right now is 4633
