[PATCH 5/7] ramoops: Split ftrace buffer space into per-CPU zones
From: Joel Fernandes
Date: Sat Oct 08 2016 - 01:30:20 EST
If FTRACE_PER_CPU flag is passed to ramoops pdata, split the space into
multiple zones depending on the number of CPUs.
This speeds up the performance of function tracing by about 280% in my tests as
we avoid the locking. The trade off being lesser space available per CPU. Let
the ramoops user decide which option they want based on pdata flag.
