From 369bc18f9a6c4e2686204c1d7476ab684a720968 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Assmann Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:17:21 +0200 Subject: ftrace: add kernel command line graph function filtering Add a command line parameter to allow limiting the function graphs that are traced on boot up from the given top-level callers , when ftrace=function_graph is specified. This patch adds the following command line option: ftrace_graph_filter=function-list Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
