This caused me an unacceptable performance penalty (obviously SOME penalty was expected, but not one so severe) which made me revert the changes in configuration. The first patch in this series modifies the files that actually define the tracepoint to look for a preprocessor macro NOTRACE and define nops (as if CONFIG_TRACING was not set) instead of them. The second patch provides an example of how I see this working, with the gpio subsystem as the example for absolutely no reason. Changelog: v2: - A comment in tracepoint.h explaining NOTRACE and its use - Avoid duplication of the test for both NOTRACE and a config option by defining TRACEPOINTS_ENABLED when both are present and using that to check whether or not to define tracepoints v3: - Fix Patch 1/2 to apply to changes in include/trace/define_trace.h - Add Linus Walleij's ack to Patch 2/2 - Move the Kconfig option from drivers/gpio/Kconfig to kernel/trace/Kconfig This was done to group up all TRACING_EVENTS_* options together in the future to ease disabling everything you don't need.
