Subject: [PATCH 6.18.y 2/4] tracing: fprobe: optimization for entry only case
Date: Fri, 15 May 2026 07:32:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260515113226.2979191-2-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260515113226.2979191-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Menglong Dong <menglong8.dong@gmail.com>
[ Upstream commit 2c67dc457bc67367dc8fcd8f471ce2d5bb5f7b2b ]
For now, fgraph is used for the fprobe, even if we need trace the entry
only. However, the performance of ftrace is better than fgraph, and we
can use ftrace_ops for this case.
Then performance of kprobe-multi increases from 54M to 69M. Before this
commit:
$ ./benchs/run_bench_trigger.sh kprobe-multi
kprobe-multi : 54.663 ± 0.493M/s
After this commit:
$ ./benchs/run_bench_trigger.sh kprobe-multi
kprobe-multi : 69.447 ± 0.143M/s
Mitigation is disable during the bench testing above.
