Sure, I tend to agree here that we need a narrower scope trigger, only
when needed, i.e., an event
or PMU feature that requires ctxsw work. In fact, I am also interested
in splitting ctxswin and ctswout
callbacks. The reason is that you have overhead in the way the
callback is invoked. You may end up
calling the sched_task on ctxswout when only ctxwin is needed. In
doing that you pay the cost of
stopping/starting the PMU for possibly nothing. Stopping the PMU can
be expensive, like on AMD
where you need multiple wrmsr.
So splitting or adding a flag to convey that either CTXSW_IN or
CTXSW_OUT is needed would help.
I am suggesting this now given you are adding a flag.
