Yo can do that easily with dtrace
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
fbt::build_msg:entry
{
printf("%d\n", timestamp)
}
fbt::build_msg:return
{
printf("%d\n", timestamp)
}
or if you want to get an histogram of the call time distributions:
fbt::build_msg:entry
{
self->ts=timestamp;
}
fbt::build_msg:return
{
@[probefunc]=quantize(timestamp - self->ts);
}
Those are from the top of my head, I don't have a FreeBSD system at hand to
test them, but I hope you'll get the idea
