    trace/hwlat: Implement the mode config option · 8fa826b7
    Daniel Bristot de Oliveira authored
    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.
