Subject: [PATCH] fgraph: Move trace_clock_local() for return time to function_graph tracer
Date: Sun, 12 Jan 2025 14:26:35 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <173665959558.1629214.16724136597211810729.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <Z3aSuql3fnXMVMoM@krava>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Since the ftrace_graph_ret::rettime is only referred in the function_graph
tracer, the trace_clock_local() call in fgraph is just an overhead for
other fgraph users.
Move the trace_clock_local() for recording return time to function_graph
tracer and the rettime field is just zeroed in the fgraph side.
That rettime field is updated by one of the function_graph tracer and
cached for other function_graph tracer instances.
According to Jiri's report[1], removing this function will gain fprobe
performance ~27%.
