Description-en: kernel event states monitoring tool
Eventstat periodically dumps out the current kernel event state.
It keeps track of current events and outputs the change in events
on each output update. The tool requires sudo to run since it
needs to write to /proc/timer_stats to start and stop the event
monitoring.
