hi all,
is it possible to write a user space code to calculate the context switch
time of a process ? I mean , how can the user space code know about the
working of the scheduler?
Is there any system call API to interact with scheduler or something other
to interact with , regarding this problem?

Do check the function tracing framework in the Linux Kernel.

sched_switch is the tracer you're looking for.
