Hello,

Please bear with me if this is a naive question. I am working on an
embedded ARM chip (1GB ram, 2CPUs) where I want to collect trace events for
a long duration of time. From the research that I have done (mostly reading
papers on LTTng tracing, conference talks and documentation) I have seen it
mentioned that for ARM the overhead is greater because the system call to
get the CPU is quite slow. In my use case I am okay with not having  this
information. The current benchmarks show a 3 microsecond overhead of a
single tracepoint on ARM in comparison to 150ns on a x86 machine. Hence, my
question is: Is it possible to disable recording the CPU somehow? Any
suggestions for decreasing the overhead other than this are welcome.

Regards,
Aditya
