AVX-512 components usage could cause core turbo frequency drop. So
it's useful to expose AVX-512 components usage as a heuristic hint
for the user space job scheduler to cluster the AVX-512 using tasks
together.
Example:
$ cat /proc/pid/status | grep AVX512_hint
AVX512_hint: 1
The hint number '0' indicates the task recently didn't use AVX-512
components thus unlikely has frequency drop issue. And the number '1'
indicates the task recently used AVX-512 components thus could cause
core frequency drop. 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.
