[for-next][PATCH 2/7] ftrace: Use asynchronous grace period for register_ftrace_direct()
Posted by Steven Rostedt 1 year, 9 months ago
From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

When running heavy test workloads with KASAN enabled, RCU Tasks grace
periods can extend for many tens of seconds, significantly slowing
trace registration.  Therefore, make the registration-side RCU Tasks
grace period be asynchronous via call_rcu_tasks().
