SubjectRE: [PATCH 2/2] trace,x86: Add x86 irq vector entry/exit tracepoints
Steven,

Thank you for giving me an explanation in detail how stacktrace works.
I was confused stacktrace.

I'm concerned about amount of consumption of ring buffer because
I would like to use a background tracer for multiple cases in our costomer's system
for solving several issues.

As you know, I'm trying to improve tracepoints of signal events with others.

And I'm posting a patch of jbd2 event by myself.

How much does stacktrace consume ring buffer, compared to a tracepoint?
