Title:
[ubuntu 16.10] Enable OPTPROBES for powerpc
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in linux source package in Yakkety:
In Progress
Bug description:
This is a feature request for Ubuntu 16.10:
Optimized kprobes support for powerpc :
This feauture aims to enhance the performance of kprobes. Currently, whenever
a probe is placed in the kernel using the kprobes infrastructure, it places a
trap instruction at that place. This feature will replace the trap with a
branch thereby reducing the probe overhead drastically.
Patches to enable this are being sent :
