TAPSET::GURU-DELAY(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

tapset::guru-delay — the systemtap guru-delay tapset, bestie 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so listen. The functions hanging out in the guru-delay tapset let a probe handler drop in deliberate delays on purpose. Like, you're literally telling the kernel "hey girl, wait a sec." 🕐

Why would anyone do that? Because it's sometimes useful as a fault-injection aid. That's the whole vibe — you're poking at the system to see how it copes when things take a lil minute. 🙈

⚠️ But real talk: because this is likely to interfere with the kernel, guru mode is required, and overload-prevention is suppressed. No cap. The safety rails are off, so know what you're doing, okay? 💀

Here's the roster, two icons only:

• mdelay — millisecond delay. See function::mdelay(3stap) for details. 👑
• udelay — microsecond delay. See function::udelay(3stap) for details. 🧚

That's it, that's the whole tapset. Short, sweet, mildly chaotic. Periodt. 💅
