Mark finished an implementation of his per-callsite-ops and min-args
branches (meaning that we can now skip the expensive ftrace's saving
of all registers and iteration over all ops if only one is attached)
- https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git/log/?h=arm64-ftrace-call-ops-20221017

And Masami wrote similar patches to what I had originally done to
fprobe in my branch:
- https://github.com/mhiramat/linux/commits/kprobes/fprobe-update

So I could rebase my previous "bpf on fprobe" branch on top of these:
(as before, it's just good enough for benchmarking and to give a
general sense of the idea, not for a thorough code review):
- https://github.com/FlorentRevest/linux/commits/fprobe-min-args-3

And I could run the benchmarks against my rpi4. I have different
baseline numbers as Xu so I ran everything again and tried to keep the
format the same. "indirect call" refers to my branch I just linked and
"direct call" refers to the series this is a reply to (Xu's work)

This looks slightly better than before but it is actually still a
pretty significant performance hit compared to direct calls.

Note that I can't really make sense of the perf report with indirect
calls. it always reports it spent 12% of the time in
rethook_trampoline_handler but I verified with both a WARN in that
function and a breakpoint with a debugger, this function does *not*
get called when running this "bench trig-fentry" benchmark. Also it
wouldn't make sense for fprobe_handler to call it so I'm quite
confused why perf would report this call and such a long time spent
there. Anyone know what I could be missing here ?
