The above command can be used with -v to get more debug information.

+After the system starts, use `delaytop` to get the system-wide delay information,
+which includes system-wide PSI information and Top-N high-latency tasks.
+Note: PSI support requires `CONFIG_PSI=y` and `psi=1` for full functionality.
+
+`delaytop` is an interactive tool for monitoring system pressure and task delays.
+It supports multiple sorting options, display modes, and real-time keyboard controls.
+
+Basic usage with default settings (sorts by CPU delay, shows top 20 tasks, refreshes every 2 seconds)::
+
+ bash# ./delaytop

+ cpu(c) - CPU delay
+ blkio(i) - I/O delay
+ irq(q) - IRQ delay
+ mem(m) - Total memory delay
+ swapin(s) - Swapin delay (memory verbose mode only)
+ freepages(r) - Freepages reclaim delay (memory verbose mode only)
+ thrashing(t) - Thrashing delay (memory verbose mode only)
+ compact(p) - Compaction delay (memory verbose mode only)
+ wpcopy(w) - Write page copy delay (memory verbose mode only)
+

+ # ./delaytop -s blkio
+ Sorted by IO delay
+
+ # ./delaytop -s mem -M
+ Sorted by memory delay in memory verbose mode
+
+ # ./delaytop -p pid
