Subject: [PATCH 1/2] scripts: ftrace - move the sort-processing in ftrace_init to compile time
When ftrace is enabled, ftrace_init will consume a period of
time, usually around 15~20 ms. Approximately 40% of the time is
consumed by sort-processing. Moving the sort-processing to the
compile time can speed up the kernel boot process.
performance test:
env: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2682 v4 @ 2.50GHz
method: before and after patching, compare the
total time of ftrace_init(), and verify
the functionality of ftrace.
avg_time of ftrace_init:
with patch: 8.352 ms
without patch: 15.763 ms
