Merge tag 'sched-psi-2022-10-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull PSI updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Various performance optimizations, resulting in a 4%-9% speedup in
the mmtests/config-scheduler-perfpipe micro-benchmark.
- New interface to turn PSI on/off on a per cgroup level.
