OK thanks. To get it merged I'd like: - always called after the barriers. - no calls in loops, instead add a "count" field to the trace point and when we call it multiple times in a loop we pass the count. So you'd see entries something like: <...>-5141 [062] 1354.486693: tlbie: lpid=0, local=1, rb=0x7b5d0ff874f11f1, rs=0, ric=0, prs=0, r=0, count=128 cheers
