This symbol has never existed in the mainline scheduler. You'll have to
go bug android people.

Hi Rajesh,
if you are working with the Android common kernel you should be aware
that in that tree there are many different (sometimes experimental)
features which are not present in Linux mainline kernel.

Thus, this channel (i.e. LKML), as well as the people you are writing
to, are not the one to bother about these issues.
Probably, you should better start with a git blame to identify the
"owner" of the code lines and eventually post a message directly to
him.

All that considered, what you are reporting is a tracepoint.
Thus, you will not find a definition for this function in
kernel/sched/fair.c. The tracepoint is defined in:
   include/trace/events/sched.h
Here it is:
   https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/android-3.18/include/trace/events/sched.h#822

-- 
#include <best/regards.h>
