Subject: [PATCH v8 17/27] mm/ksw: add KSTACKWATCH_PROFILING to measure probe cost
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 00:36:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110163634.3686676-18-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110163634.3686676-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>

CONFIG_KSTACKWATCH_PROFILING enables runtime measurement of KStackWatch
probe latencies. When profiling is enabled, KStackWatch collects
entry/exit latencies in its probe callbacks. When KStackWatch is
disabled by clearing its config file, the previously collected statistics
are printed.
