So I'm trying to get the Intel PowerTop stuff working, and discovered that /
proc/timer_stats and/or /proc/tstats has moved to /debug in -mm2 - but only if
you're building for S390.  For other architechtures it just evaporates
entirely.  I had to bash this patch in to get it to get included in an x86_64
build:

Am just replicating the choice to put it in arch/s390/Kconfig - not sure why
it was in there rather than lib/Kconfig.debug - is there a reason here?

Having bashed *that* into place, I hit this at kernel link time:

WARNING: lib/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:statistic_hotcpu from .data between 'statistic_hotcpu_notifier' (at offset 0x640) and 'io_tlb_lock'
