Looking at information.txt, I found something interesting

rt_rq[0]:/1314
.rt_nr_running : 1
.rt_throttled : 1
.rt_time : 0.856656
.rt_runtime : 0.000000


cfs_rq[0]:/1314
.exec_clock : 8738.133429
.MIN_vruntime : 0.000001
.min_vruntime : 8739.371271
.max_vruntime : 0.000001
.spread : 0.000000
.spread0 : -9792.255554
.nr_spread_over : 1
.nr_running : 0
.load : 0
.load_avg : 7376.722880
.load_period : 7.203830
.load_contrib : 1023
.load_tg : 1023
.se->exec_start : 282004.715064
.se->vruntime : 18435.664560
.se->sum_exec_runtime : 8738.133429
.se->wait_start : 0.000000
.se->sleep_start : 0.000000
.se->block_start : 0.000000
.se->sleep_max : 0.000000
.se->block_max : 0.000000
.se->exec_max : 77.977054
.se->slice_max : 0.000000
.se->wait_max : 2.664779
.se->wait_sum : 29.970575
.se->wait_count : 102
.se->load.weight : 2

So 1314 is a real time process and

cpu.rt_period_us:
1000000
----------------------
cpu.rt_runtime_us:
0

When did tt move to being a Real Time process (hint: see nr_running
and nr_throttled)?
