[lttng-dev] UST performance

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi, 

Is your sched_getcpu() system call a vdso too ? This may explain the difference. 

Moreover, make sure you #define _LGPL_SOURCE in your benchmark program 
before including any lttng ust header. It will inline many functions associated with 
tracepoints. 

Then, you can try using "perf" to profile the runtime execution of your program 
traced by lttng-ust ? This should give us the information we need to investigate the 
performance profile. 

Thanks, 

Mathieu
