Why the #ifdef? a static inline is fine to keep in the open. If nothing
uses it, then it just wont be used or defined.


Without the ifdef I get:

In file included from include/trace/define_trace.h:80,
from include/trace/events/sched.h:445,
from kernel/sched/core.c:86:
include/trace/events/sched.h:366: error: redefinition of âtrace_get_sleeptimeâ
include/trace/events/sched.h:366: note: previous definition of âtrace_get_sleeptimeâ was here

So I shamelessly copied what the other static inline function in the file does.

I also noticed that sched_stat_sleeptime() is very similar to sched_stat_sleep(). The latter covers sleeps but not iowait and doesn't include the scheduler latency. Let me know if you think this is a show stopper that needs a rename.
