From 493762fc534c71d11d489f872c4b4a2c61173668 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:12:36 -0400 Subject: tracing: move function profiler data out of function struct Impact: reduce size of memory in function profiler The function profiler originally introduces its counters into the function records itself. There is 20 thousand different functions on a normal system, and that is adding 20 thousand counters for profiling event when not needed. A normal run of the profiler yields only a couple of thousand functions executed, depending on what is being profiled. This means we have around 18 thousand useless counters. This patch rectifies this by moving the data out of the function records used by dynamic ftrace. Data is preallocated to hold the functions when the profiling begins. Checks are made during profiling to see if more recorcds should be allocated, and they are allocated if it is safe to do so. This also removes the dependency from using dynamic ftrace, and also removes the overhead by having it enabled.
