Subject: [PATCH 5/6] powerpc: Disable HCALL_STATS by default
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 15:51:57 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091027045157.GF3085@kryten> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091027045109.GE3085@kryten>
The overhead of HCALL_STATS is quite high and the functionality is very
rarely used. Key statistics are also missing (eg min/max).
With the new hcall tracepoints much more powerful tracing can be done in
a kernel module. Lets disable this by default.
