does there exist a way to calculate time spent on interrupts handling ?

There is currently no generic RTEMS mechanism for accounting for time
spent
in ISRs.  

In case you did not notice the CPU_usage report is based on noticing
which task is running when the clock ticks and as a direct result is 
only an approximation.  It is safe to assume that multiple tasks can
and often do execute between two consecutive clock ticks.  Did each
of those tasks take 0 clock ticks or 1 clock tick to execute?

There needs to be a higher granularity timestamp to make this completely
accurate and to account for time spent in ISRs.  

Adding this capability and defining the infrastructure required to
portably support this would be a nice thing. :)
