    arm64: Don't trace __switch_to if function graph tracer is enabled · 8f4b326d
    Joel Fernandes authored
    Function graph tracer shows negative time (wrap around) when tracing
    __switch_to if the nosleep-time trace option is enabled.
    
    Time compensation for nosleep-time is done by an ftrace probe on
    sched_switch. This doesn't work well for the following events (with
    letters representing timestamps):
    A - sched switch probe called for task T switch out
    B - __switch_to calltime is recorded
    C - sched_switch probe called for task T switch in
    D - __switch_to rettime is recorded
    
    If C - A > D - B, then we end up over compensating for the time spent in
    __switch_to giving rise to negative times in the trace output.
    
    On x86, __switch_to is not traced if function graph tracer is enabled.
    Do the same for arm64 as well.
