Subject[PATCH] Sched: Add a tracepoint to track rq->nr_running
Date
Add a bare tracepoint trace_sched_update_nr_running_tp which tracks
->nr_running CPU's rq. This is used to accurately trace this data and
provide a visualization of scheduler imbalances in, for example, the
form of a heat map. The tracepoint is accessed by loading an external
kernel module. An example module (forked from Qais' module and including
the pelt related tracepoints) can be found at:

https://github.com/auldp/tracepoints-helpers.git

A script to turn the trace-cmd report output into a heatmap plot can be
found at:

https://github.com/jirvoz/plot-nr-running

The tracepoints are added to add_nr_running() and sub_nr_running() which
are in kernel/sched/sched.h. Since sched.h includes trace/events/tlb.h
via mmu_context.h we had to limit when CREATE_TRACE_POINTS is defined.
