sched: add tracepoints related to NUMA task migration
This patch adds three tracepoints
o trace_sched_move_numa when a task is moved to a node
o trace_sched_swap_numa when a task is swapped with another task
o trace_sched_stick_numa when a numa-related migration fails
The tracepoints allow the NUMA scheduler activity to be monitored and the
following high-level metrics can be calculated
o NUMA migrated stuck nr trace_sched_stick_numa
o NUMA migrated idle nr trace_sched_move_numa
o NUMA migrated swapped nr trace_sched_swap_numa
o NUMA local swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid == dst_nid (should never happen)
o NUMA remote swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_nid != dst_nid (should == NUMA migrated swapped)
o NUMA group swapped trace_sched_swap_numa src_ngid == dst_ngid
Maybe a small number of these are acceptable
but a high number would be a major surprise.
It would be even worse if bounces are frequent.
o NUMA avg task migs. Average number of migrations for tasks
o NUMA stddev task mig Self-explanatory
o NUMA max task migs. Maximum number of migrations for a single task
In general the intent of the tracepoints is to help diagnose problems
where automatic NUMA balancing appears to be doing an excessive amount
of useless work.
