eBPF C program attaches to block_rq_issue/block_rq_complete events to calculate
IO latency. Then it waits for the first 100 events to compute average latency
and uses range [0 .. ave_lat * 2] to record histogram of events in this latency
range.
User space reads this histogram map every 2 seconds and prints it as a 'heatmap'
using gray shades of text terminal. Black spaces have many events and white
spaces have very few events. Left most space is the smallest latency, right most
space is the largest latency in the range.
If kernel sees too many events that fall out of histogram range, user space
adjusts the range up, so heatmap for next 2 seconds will be more accurate.

Usage:
$ sudo ./tracex3
and do 'sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null' in other terminal.
Observe IO latencies and how different activity (like 'make kernel') affects it.

Similar experiments can be done for network transmit latencies, syscalls, etc
