From d1b26c70246bc72922ae61d9f972d5c2588409e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2016 06:41:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf/ring_buffer: Prepare writing into the ring-buffer from the end Convert perf_output_begin() to __perf_output_begin() and make the later function able to write records from the end of the ring-buffer. Following commits will utilize the 'backward' flag. This is the core patch to support writing to the ring-buffer backwards, which will be introduced by upcoming patches to support reading from overwritable ring-buffers. In theory, this patch should not introduce any extra performance overhead since we use always_inline, but it does not hurt to double check that assumption: When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is disabled, the output object is nearly identical to original one. See: http://lkml.kernel.org/g/56F52E83.70409@huawei.com When CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING is enabled, the resuling object file becomes smaller: $ size kernel/events/ring_buffer.o* text data bss dec hex filename 4641 4 8 4653 122d kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.old 4545 4 8 4557 11cd kernel/events/ring_buffer.o.new Performance testing results: Calling 3000000 times of 'close(-1)', use gettimeofday() to check duration. Use 'perf record -o /dev/null -e raw_syscalls:*' to capture system calls. In ns.

'PRE' is test result of pure 'v4.5.0' kernel. 'POST' is test result after this patch. Considering the stdvar, this patch doesn't hurt performance, within noise margin.
