Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tracing: fprobe: optimization for entry only case
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 17:20:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923092001.1087678-2-dongml2@chinatelecom.cn> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250923092001.1087678-1-dongml2@chinatelecom.cn>

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.
