Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: Use trace condition for get_extent tracepoint
Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:57:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131114225729.463bd2e6@gandalf.local.home> (raw)
Doing an if statement to test some condition to know if we should
trigger a tracepoint is pointless when tracing is disabled. This just
adds overhead and wastes a branch prediction. This is why the
TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() was created. It places the check inside the jump
label so that the branch does not happen unless tracing is enabled.
That is, instead of doing:
if (em)
trace_btrfs_get_extent(root, em);
Which is basically this:
if (em)
if (static_key(trace_btrfs_get_extent)) {
Using a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() we can just do:
trace_btrfs_get_extent(root, em);
And the condition trace event will do:
if (static_key(trace_btrfs_get_extent)) {
if (em) {
...
The static key is a non conditional jump (or nop) that is faster than
having to check if em is NULL or not.
