Subject: [for-next][PATCH 3/7] ftrace: Reduce size of function graph entries
Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2016 03:16:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160716071647.151605569@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20160716071617.711980454@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0003-ftrace-Reduce-size-of-function-graph-entries.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3925 bytes --]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct
can have padding bytes at the end due to alignment in 64-bit data type.
As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste
non-negligible space.  As the ring buffer maintains alignment properly
for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed'
attribute.

  ftrace_graph_ent_entry:  24 -> 20
  ftrace_graph_ret_entry:  48 -> 44

Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize
the padding in the middle.

Tested on x86_64 only.
