Subject: [PATCH v3 21/21] -- DO NOT APPLY!!! -- sched/cache/debug: Add ftrace to track the load balance statistics
Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:19:01 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5d663caaed7ebe93ab9b272235675b2400b3ed8b.1770760558.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1770760558.git.tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>

From: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com>

Debug patch only.

The user leverages these trace events (via bpftrace, etc.)
to monitor the cache-aware load balancing activity - specifically,
whether tasks are moved to their preferred LLC, moved out of their
preferred LLC, or whether cache-aware load balancing is skipped
due to exceeding the memory footprint limit or too many active
tasks.

Signed-off-by: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@intel.com>
Signed-off-by: Tim Chen <tim.c.chen@linux.intel.com>
---

Notes:
    v2->v3:
    Add more trace events when the process exceeds the limitation
    of LLC size or number of active threads(moved from schedstat
    to trace event for better bpf tracking)
