ftrace: add stack trace to function tracer
Impact: new feature to stack trace any function
Chris Mason asked about being able to pick and choose a function
and get a stack trace from it. This feature enables his request.
# echo io_schedule > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
# echo func_stack_trace > /debug/tracing/trace_options
Produces the following in /debug/tracing/trace:
kjournald-702 [001] 135.673060: io_schedule <-sync_buffer
kjournald-702 [002] 135.673671:
<= sync_buffer
<= __wait_on_bit
<= out_of_line_wait_on_bit
<= __wait_on_buffer
<= sync_dirty_buffer
<= journal_commit_transaction
<= kjournald
Note, be careful about turning this on without filtering the functions.
You may find that you have a 10 second lag between typing and seeing
what you typed. This is why the stack trace for the function tracer
does not use the same stack_trace flag as the other tracers use.
