SubjectRe: How how latent should non-preemptive scheduling be?

With a non preempt kernel I found the logs would simply become too big
without filtering. On Peter's suggestion I used the following to remove
the most frequently called functions:

echo acpi_os_release_object > set_ftrace_notrace && echo kmem_cache_* >>
set_ftrace_notrace && echo acpi_ut_* >> set_ftrace_notrace

By doing counts across multiple runs I would say that the most
frequently called functions are the following (in most frequently called
order). The counts are definitely approximate but are reasonable
relative to each other.

475325 acpi_os_release_object (acpi_ut_delete_generic_state)
406895 kmem_cache_free (acpi_os_release_object)
402838 kmem_cache_alloc (acpi_ut_create_generic_state)
132968 acpi_ut_update_ref_count (acpi_ut_update_object_reference)
131041 acpi_ut_pop_generic_state (acpi_ut_update_object_reference)
131036 acpi_ut_delete_generic_state (acpi_ut_update_object_reference)
131025 acpi_ut_create_generic_state (acpi_ut_create_update_state)
131023 acpi_ut_create_update_state_and_push
(acpi_ut_update_object_reference)
131020 acpi_ut_create_update_state (acpi_ut_create_update_state_and_push)
131018 acpi_ut_push_generic_state (acpi_ut_create_update_state_and_push)
60147 acpi_ns_get_next_node (acpi_ns_delete_namespace_by_owner)
28974 acpi_ns_get_next_valid_node (acpi_ns_get_next_node)

Logs with the filtering on can be seen here (15Mbytes decompressed each):
http://sucs.org/~sits/test/eeepc-debug/20080923/latency_trace.gz
http://sucs.org/~sits/test/eeepc-debug/20080923/trace.txt.gz

It looks like lots of acpi state is created and deleted...
