Here are some test results to show the overhead of lockdep trace events:

select pagefault mmap Memory par Cont_SW
latency latency latency R/W BD latency

disable ftrace 0 0 0 0 0

enable all ftrace -16.65% -109.80% -93.62% 0.14% -6.94%

enable all ftrace -2.67% 1.08% -3.65% -0.52% -0.68%
except lockdep


We also found big overhead when using kernbench and fio, but we haven't
verified whether it's caused by lockdep events.

Thanks,
Xiao
