[PATCH] sched/debug: Add tracepoint for RT throttling

From: Benjamin Bouvier
Date: Fri Dec 14 2018 - 03:28:19 EST


As there is currently no information on which RT task is throttled, add a
new tracepoint for debug purpose. By the way improve printk debugging
message by adding task name, pid and cpu for which the throttle has been
executed.
