BPF offers another way to generate latency histograms. We attach kprobes at trace_preempt_off and trace_preempt_on and calculate the time it takes to from seeing the off/on transition. The first array is used to store the start time stamp. The key is the CPU id. The second array stores the log2(time diff). We need to use static allocation here (array and not hash tables). The kprobes hooking into trace_preempt_on|off should not calling any dynamic memory allocation or free path. We need to avoid recursivly getting called. Besides that, it reduces jitter in the measurement.

With the rebase on net-next no additinal patches are needed and this thing here runs fine. cheers, daniel changes v1: - rebases on net-next v0: - renamed to lathist since there is no direct hw latency involved - use arrays instead of hash tables samples/bpf/Makefile | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+)
