As with all things, it's perfectly possible I was looking at a workload
where the cost is more obvious but given that the functions are inlined,
it's not trivial to spot. I just happened to spot it because I was paying
close attention to try_to_wake_up() at the time.

Elsewhere in the thread, I showed some results based on 5.7 so uclamp
task group existed but I had it disabled. The uclamp related parts of
the kconfig were

# zgrep UCLAMP kconfig-5.7.0-rc7-with-clamp.txt.gz
CONFIG_UCLAMP_TASK=y
CONFIG_UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT=5
# CONFIG_UCLAMP_TASK_GROUP is not set
