6.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Shrikanth Hegde sshegde@linux.ibm.com
[ Upstream commit be3a51e68f2f1b17250ce40d8872c7645b7a2991 ]
root_domain::overutilized is only used for EAS(energy aware scheduler) to decide whether to do load balance or not. It is not used if EAS not possible.
Currently enqueue_task_fair and task_tick_fair accesses, sometime updates this field. In update_sd_lb_stats it is updated often. This causes cache contention due to true sharing and burns a lot of cycles. ::overload and ::overutilized are part of the same cacheline. Updating it often invalidates the cacheline. That causes access to ::overload to slow down due to false sharing. Hence add EAS check before accessing/updating this field. EAS check is optimized at compile time or it is a static branch. Hence it shouldn't cost much.
With the patch, both enqueue_task_fair and newidle_balance don't show up as hot routines in perf profile.
6.8-rc4: 7.18% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair 6.78% s [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
+patch: 0.14% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] enqueue_task_fair 0.00% swapper [kernel.vmlinux] [k] newidle_balance
While at it: trace_sched_overutilized_tp expect that second argument to be bool. So do a int to bool conversion for that.
