The patch titled
Subject: x86,/proc/pid/arch_status: add AVX-512 usage elapsed time
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
x86-proc-pid-arch_status-add-avx-512-usage-elapsed-time.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: x86,/proc/pid/arch_status: add AVX-512 usage elapsed time
AVX-512 components use could cause core turbo frequency drop. So it's
useful to expose AVX-512 usage elapsed time as a heuristic hint for the
user space job scheduler to cluster the AVX-512 using tasks together.
Tensorflow example:
$ while [ 1 ]; do cat /proc/tid/arch_status | grep AVX512; sleep 1; done
AVX512_elapsed_ms: 4
AVX512_elapsed_ms: 8
AVX512_elapsed_ms: 4
This means that 4 milliseconds have elapsed since the AVX512 usage
of tensorflow task was detected when the task was scheduled out.
Or:
$ cat /proc/tid/arch_status | grep AVX512
AVX512_elapsed_ms: -1
The number '-1' indicates that no AVX512 usage recorded before
thus the task unlikely has frequency drop issue.
User space tools may want to further check by:
$ perf stat --pid <pid> -e core_power.lvl2_turbo_license -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for process id '3558':
3,251,565,961 core_power.lvl2_turbo_license
1.004031387 seconds time elapsed
Non-zero counter value confirms that the task causes frequency drop.
