The sched notifiers and the various event notifiers we have in the same
codepaths should really be unified into a single callback framework.
We have these _5_ callbacks:
...
perf_event_task_sched_out(prev, next, cpu);
...
fire_sched_out_notifiers(prev, next);
...
trace_sched_switch(rq, prev, next);
...
perf_event_task_sched_in(current, cpu_of(rq));
fire_sched_in_notifiers(current);
...
That could be done with just two callbacks - one for sched-out, one for
sched-in.
The best way to do that would be to use two TRACE_EVENT() callbacks,
make them unconditional and register to them. (with wrappers to make it
all convenient to use)
This requires some work but needs to be done.
