[PATCH 2/3] x86,tlb: add tracepoint for TLB flush IPI to stale CPU

From: Rik van Riel
Date: Fri Nov 08 2024 - 19:40:12 EST


Add a tracepoint when we send a TLB flush IPI to a CPU that used
to be in the mm_cpumask, but isn't any more.

This can be used to evaluate whether there any workloads where
we end up in this path problematically often. Hopefully they
don't exist.
