Subject: [RFC PATCH 4.1-rt backport] sched: Introduce the 'trace_sched_waking' tracepoint
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
Mathieu reported that since 317f394160e9 ("sched: Move the second half
of ttwu() to the remote cpu") trace_sched_wakeup() can happen out of
context of the waker.
This is a problem when you want to analyse wakeup paths because it is
now very hard to correlate the wakeup event to whoever issued the
wakeup.
OTOH trace_sched_wakeup() is issued at the point where we set
p->state = TASK_RUNNING, which is right were we hand the task off to
the scheduler, so this is an important point when looking at
scheduling behaviour, up to here its been the wakeup path everything
hereafter is due to scheduler policy.
To bridge this gap, introduce a second tracepoint: trace_sched_waking.
It is guaranteed to be called in the waker context.
[ Ported to linux-4.1.y-rt kernel by Mathieu Desnoyers. Resolved
conflict: try_to_wake_up_local() does not exist in -rt kernel. Removed
its instrumentation hunk. ]

Julien Desfossez is currently implementing an in-kernel latency tracker
module performing automated latency/deadline analysis, which main target
is the real time kernel.
In order to follow the wakeup chains, we need the sched_waking
tracepoint. This is a backport of this tracepoint to the 4.1-rt kernel.
I'm not sure what is the policy regarding patch backport from mainline
to -rt kernels, hence the RFC.
Thanks,
Mathieu
