Good Morning,
during the 30C3 we had some "broken channels" because the BTS didn't
respond within four seconds to a Channel Activation/Deactivation. I
started to look at it with perf and "snprintf" appears to be called a
lot and did show up in the top.
snprintf is mostly called from within osmo_hexdump and gsm_lchan_name.
Both of these function calls are used in our logging calls throughout
the code.
Going forward I think we can do
* Remove some LOGP/DEBUG with osmo_hexdump (I did so for some call sites
in the osmo-bts)
* Start handlin -DNDEBUG inside logging.h and undefine/not define 'DEBUG'
in logging.h. But this would take away some code paths that would be
nice to look at.
* gsm_lchan_name could 'cache' the last lchan and then not call snprintf.
I did this once but it didn't appear to be much help. I will have
another look.
* Introduce a DEBUGQ, 'Q' for quick and check if the output would be
enabled and then log. This can be useful when the cost of checking
all targets twice is smaller than the cost of snprintf.
comments?
