[PATCH 0/5] sched/debug: decouple sched_stat tracepoints from CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS

[Josh Poimboeuf]

NOTE: I didn't include any performance numbers because I wasn't able to
get consistent results.  I tried the following on a Xeon E5-2420 v2 CPU:

  $ for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor; do echo -n performance > $i; done
  $ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
  $ echo 100 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
  $ echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
  $ taskset 0x10 perf stat -n -r10 perf bench sched pipe -l 1000000

I was going to post the numbers from that, both with and without
SCHEDSTATS, but then when I tried to repeat the test on a different day,
the results were surprisingly different, with different conclusions.

So any advice on measuring scheduler performance would be appreciated...

  sched/debug: rename and move enqueue_sleeper()
  sched/debug: schedstat macro cleanup
  sched/debug: 'schedstat_val()' -> 'schedstat_val_or_zero()'
  sched/debug: remove several CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS guards
  sched/debug: decouple 'sched_stat_*' tracepoints' from
    CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS
