Now you just slowed down the fast path. But what you could do is:
get_page()
{
atomic_inc();
if (trace_page_ref_get_page_enabled())
stub_get_page();
}
Now that "trace_page_ref_get_page_enabled()" will turn into:
if (static_key_false(&__tracepoint_page_ref_get_page.key)) {
which is a jump label (nop when disabled, a jmp when enabled). That's
less bloat but doesn't solve the include problem. You still need to add
the include of that will cause havoc with other tracepoints.
