[Xen-devel] unconditionally enable the trace buffer

[Rob Gardner <rob.gardner@xxxxxx>]

Last month Mark Williamson sent out a patch to unconditionally enable 
the trace buffer. I'd like to suggest that his patch be accepted and 
merged. I have performed some simple benchmarks to quantify the overhead 
associated with the trace buffer and calls, and found a negligable 
performance loss due to them. The actual number was .069%, and was 
gotten by timing a simple cpu-intensive task running with trace buffers 
compiled in and again with trace buffers not compiled in. It's important 
for us to have the trace buffer functionality totally enabled by 
default, so we can depend on its availability for running XenMon without 
requiring recompiling and rebooting.
Thanks,
Rob Gardner (HP)
