[RESEND][PATCH v2 3/3] schedutil: trace: Add tracing to capture filter out requests

From: Lukasz Luba
Date: Mon May 22 2023 - 10:57:43 EST


Some of the frequency update requests coming form the task scheduler
might be filter out. It can happen when the previous request was served
not that long ago (in a period smaller than provided by the cpufreq driver
as minimum for frequency update). In such case, we want to know if some of
the frequency updates cannot make through.
Export the new tracepoint as well. That would allow to handle it by a
toolkit for trace analyzes.
