To achive better performance on ftrace-based kprobe, FTRACE_OPS_FL_SELF_FILTER flag to ftrace_ops which means that ftrace skips testing its own hash table. Without this patch, ftrace_lookup_ip() is biggest cycles consumer when 20,000 kprobes are enabled. ---- Samples: 1K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 340068894 + 20.77% [k] ftrace_lookup_ip + 8.33% [k] kprobe_trace_func + 4.83% [k] get_kprobe_cached ---- With this patch, ftrace_lookup_ip() vanished from the cycles consumer list (of course, there is no caller on hotpath anymore :)) ---- Samples: 1K of event 'cycles', Event count (approx.): 186861492 + 9.95% [k] kprobe_trace_func + 6.00% [k] kprobe_ftrace_handler + 5.53% [k] get_kprobe_cached ---- Changes from v7: - Re-evaluate the performance improvement.
