Joel Fernandes (Google) dc000c4593 perf sched: Show start of latency as well
The 'perf sched latency' tool is really useful at showing worst-case
latencies that task encountered since wakeup. However it shows only the
end of the latency. Often times the start of a latency is interesting as
it can show what else was going on at the time to cause the latency. I
certainly myself spending a lot of time backtracking to the start of the
latency in "perf sched script" which wastes a lot of time.

This patch therefore adds a new column "Max delay start". Considering
this, also rename "Maximum delay at" to "Max delay end" as its easier to
understand.

Example of the new output:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
