trace: profile all if conditionals
Impact: feature to profile if statements This patch adds a branch profiler for all if () statements. The results will be found in: /debugfs/tracing/profile_branch For example: miss hit % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 0 1 100 x86_64_start_reservations head64.c 127 0 1 100 copy_bootdata head64.c 69 1 0 0 x86_64_start_kernel head64.c 111 32 0 0 set_intr_gate desc.h 319 1 0 0 reserve_ebda_region head.c 51 1 0 0 reserve_ebda_region head.c 47 0 1 100 reserve_ebda_region head.c 42 0 0 X maxcpus main.c 165 Miss means the branch was not taken. Hit means the branch was taken. The percent is the percentage the branch was taken. This adds a significant amount of overhead and should only be used by those analyzing their system.
