Subject: [PATCH 3/3] tracing/function-return-tracer: add the overrun field
Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as "20".
Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we measure now
the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed for the current thread.
By default this is not displayed, we have to do set a particular flag on the return
tracer: echo overrun > /debug/tracing/trace_options
And the overrun will be printed on the right.
As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.
