x86/process: Add AVX-512 usage elapsed time to /proc/pid/arch_status
AVX-512 components usage can result in turbo frequency drop. So it's useful
to expose AVX-512 usage elapsed time as a heuristic hint for user space job
schedulers to cluster the AVX-512 using tasks together.
Examples:
$ 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 tsks AVX512 usage was
detected when the task was scheduled out.
$ cat /proc/tid/arch_status | grep AVX512
AVX512_elapsed_ms: -1
'-1' indicates that no AVX512 usage was recorded for this task.
The time exposed is not necessarily accurate when the arch_status file is
read as the AVX512 usage is only evaluated when a task is scheduled
out. Accurate usage information can be obtained with performance counters.
