Yep, agreed for "feature vs cost", given that the kind of latency that is fixed in this case really boils down to a sluggish system under a relatively common workload -- so making this work might be called a "feature". ;)
FWIW, about tracing, well, we should distinguish between features that add cost to the fast-path and slow-path only.
But I really don't care anymore, since Ingo, Linus, Thomas and yourself made it very clear that you don't care. So let's not even start this discussion -- it's going nowhere.
Thanks,
Mathieu
