Обсуждение: static tracepoints in pgstat_report_wait_start/end
has anyone here tried static tracepoints inside pgstat_report_wait_start/end to enable tools like ebpf to do full tracing of wait events? -Jeremy -- To know the thoughts and deeds that have marked man's progress is to feel the great heart throbs of humanity through the centuries; and if one does not feel in these pulsations a heavenward striving, one must indeed be deaf to the harmonies of life.

I found that the relevant functions that indicate the waits are optimized out when postgres is compiled.
And thus simply trying to use the functions that mark the start and end of a wait event cannot easily
be used.
But I am eager to see if anyone has come up with a solution to do this in a compiled and optimized
postgres version.
