le let one to trace only one or several chosen functions and follow all their code flow. Currently, only a constant function name is allowed so this patch allows the ftrace_regex functions: - matches all functions that end with "name": echo *name > set_graph_function - matches all functions that begin with "name": echo name* > set_graph_function - matches all functions that contains "name": echo *name* > set_graph_function Example: echo mutex* > set_graph_function 0) | mutex_lock_nested() { 0) 0.563 us | __might_sleep(); 0) 2.072 us | } 0) | mutex_unlock() { 0) 1.036 us | __mutex_unlock_slowpath(); 0) 2.433 us | } 0) | mutex_unlock() { 0) 0.691 us | __mutex_unlock_slowpath(); 0) 1.787 us | } 0) | mutex_lock_interruptible_nested() { 0) 0.548 us | __might_sleep(); 0) 1.945 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar k·Ø"—
