Subject: [PATCH v7 linux 2/2] -- DO NOT APPLY!!! -- sched/cache/debug: Add trace event and sched feature to track scan cost
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 12:22:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260720122214.3977092-3-luogengkun2@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720122214.3977092-1-luogengkun2@huawei.com>

To evaluate the effectiveness of the previous patch, this debug patch
introduces feature SC_VISIT as well as trace events to facilitate testing.
