Title:
  [UBUNTU 20.04] PSI generates overhead on s390x

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  PSI is always enabled in Ubuntu 20.04.
  For a test system with 72 guests on 8 cores running a nginx workload this 
created an overhead of ~1%.

  Can we change this back to 
  CONFIG_PSI=y
  CONFIG_PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED=y

  so that by default the overhead is not there but for debugging or if
  needed it can still be enabled via kernel parm?

  Maybe there has been a reason for this - so feel free to discuss.
