[PATCH] arm64: don't account for cpu offline time with irqsoff tracer

From: Zhizhou Zhang
Date: Wed Sep 05 2018 - 04:36:18 EST


This is no need to account for cpu offline time with irqsoff tracer.
We can trigger a large irqsoff latency with below commands:

$ echo irqsoff > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
$ echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/function-trace
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
$ echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
$ # wait a while ...
$ echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
