From 8f4b326d663b92e1c2a53a6857bef42e91aea5a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Fernandes Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 14:44:46 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Don't trace __switch_to if function graph tracer is enabled Function graph tracer shows negative time (wrap around) when tracing __switch_to if the nosleep-time trace option is enabled. Time compensation for nosleep-time is done by an ftrace probe on sched_switch. This doesn't work well for the following events (with letters representing timestamps): A - sched switch probe called for task T switch out B - __switch_to calltime is recorded C - sched_switch probe called for task T switch in D - __switch_to rettime is recorded If C - A > D - B, then we end up over compensating for the time spent in __switch_to giving rise to negative times in the trace output. On x86, __switch_to is not traced if function graph tracer is enabled. Do the same for arm64 as well.
