tracing: add "power-tracer": C/P state tracer to help power optimization
Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin
This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate
detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used,
so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state
code is making, rather than the too high level "average"
that we have today.
An example way of using this is:
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
sleep 1
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | perl scripts/trace/cstate.pl > out.svg
