* trace/hwlat: Implement the per-cpu modeDaniel Bristot de Oliveira2021-06-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implements the per-cpu mode in which a sampling thread is created for each cpu in the "cpus" (and tracing_mask). The per-cpu mode has the potention to speed up the hwlat detection by running on multiple CPUs at the same time, at the cost of higher cpu usage with irqs disabled. Use with care. [ Changed get_cpu_data() to static.

* trace/hwlat: Implement the mode config optionDaniel Bristot de Oliveira2021-06-241-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provides the "mode" config to the hardware latency detector. hwlatd has two different operation modes. The default mode is the "round-robin" one, in which a single hwlatd thread runs, migrating among the allowed CPUs in a "round-robin" fashion. This is the current behavior. The "none" sets the allowed cpumask for a single hwlatd thread at the startup, but skips the round-robin, letting the scheduler handle the migration. In preparation to the per-cpu mode.
