Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/4] tracing: Add disable_bpf trace option to ignore eBPF for fetchargs
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2026 22:45:51 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <178291355107.1566898.16400808380207816368.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178291352217.1566898.14481561093843379745.stgit@devnote2>

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add a trace option "disable_bpf" to disable BPF execution for fetchargs,
forcing the execution to fallback to the interpreter loop. This is useful
for evaluating BPF compilation performance impact.
