Thanks for the Patch.

Tested-by: Vishal Chourasia <vishalc@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Base Tag : v6.2-rc8
Patch : [V2] sched/debug: Put sched/domains files under the verbose flag


# time ppc64_cpu --smt=off | When kernel is built
| with the patch, time to
real 17m54.246s | smt=off is 17m54s.
user 0m0.013s |
sys 0m4.661s |

System Configuration:

Architecture : ppc64le
CPUS : 1600
Machine : Power10
Thread per core : 8
Sockets : 15

- debug files are not created for the case where kernel command line string
lacks sched_verbose parameter.
- When sched_verbose is passed as kernel commandline parameter, kernel exports
/sys/kernel/debug/sched/verbose file which controls creation of the debug
files.
+ setting Y/N to this file enables/disables creation of debug files during CPU
hotplug operation.

Below is the table listing time taken to perform smt=off operation under
different settings.

+--------------------------+---------------+---------+------------+
| kernel | sched_verbose | verbose | time |
+--------------------------+---------------+---------+------------+
| 6.2.0-rc8-patch-applied+ | YES | N | 16m58.196s |
| 6.2.0-rc8-patch-applied+ | YES | Y | 33m21.774s |
| 6.2.0-rc8-patch-applied+ | NO | NA | 17m54.246s |
| 6.2.0-rc8 | NO | NA | 30m11.344s |
