In theory, this ought to produce a histogram of sojourn times (in
microseconds):

bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:codel_skb_time_func { @sojourn = lhist((nsecs - (retval << 10))/1000, 0, 100000, 1000); }'


Can't get the CoDel drop mechanism to trigger on my system at all,
though (a laptop running on iwl). I guess because there's queue
backpressure to userspace first?

It would be interesting to see if it works for you, assuming you can get
bpftrace to work on your test system :)
