Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Add basic tracing for uclamp and schedutil

Hi all,

The task scheduler feature: Uclamp, begins to take off. To better understand
the dynamics in the task scheduler and CPU frequency requests we need some
better tracing.
In schedutil (cpufreq governor) we allow to enter the scheduler
and make the frequency change. Although, there is some limit in regards to how
often this can happen. That min period is provided by the cpufreq driver.
Thus, some of the cpufreq requests might be filter out and the frequency won't
be changed (hopefuly will be set a bit later). We would like to know about
those situations, especially in context of the user-space hints made via
Uclamp for particular tasks.
This patch set aims to add base for our toolkits and post-processing trace
analyzes.

Changelog:
v2:
- solved the issue from CI build warning, dropped schedutil.h and re-used
  the sched.h which is available in build_utility.c where cpufreq_schedutil.c
  is included
- added tag for the last patch 3/3 for the CI robot helping hend 
- re-based on top of v6.4-rc1
v1:
- implementation can be found here [1]

Regards,
Lukasz Luba
