xfs: add trace points for log forces
To enable easy tracing of the location of log forces and the frequency of them via perf, add a pair of trace points to the log force functions. This will help debug where excessive log forces are being issued from by simple perf commands like: # ~/perf/perf top -e xfs:xfs_log_force -G -U Which gives this sort of output: Events: 141 xfs:xfs_log_force - 100.00% [kernel] [k] xfs_log_force - xfs_log_force 87.04% xfsaild kthread kernel_thread_helper - 12.87% xfs_buf_lock _xfs_buf_find xfs_buf_get xfs_trans_get_buf xfs_da_do_buf xfs_da_get_buf xfs_dir2_data_init xfs_dir2_leaf_addname xfs_dir_createname xfs_create xfs_vn_mknod xfs_vn_create vfs_create do_last.isra.41 path_openat do_filp_open do_sys_open sys_open system_call_fastpath Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Tinguely <tinguely@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Myers <bpm@sig.com>
