If you want to play with that, enable "Add tracepoint that benchmarks
tracepoints", and enable /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/benchmark

I just did on my box, and I have a max of 1.27 us, average .184 us.

Thus, on average, a tracepoint takes 184 nanoseconds.

Note, a cold cache tracepoint (the first one it traced which is not
saved in the "max") was 3.3 us.

Yes it can still be improved, and I do spend time doing that.

There's a lot of push and pop regs due to function calling. There's
places that inlines can still improve things, and perhaps even some
likely unlikelys well placed.
