Subject: Re: [PATCH] Update old Mini-HOWTO for ftrace

Dear steven,

I  confirm http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/23/24 webpage now.
I am gratified with a similar patch that another people sent  this problem.

In fact, I figured out trivial problem of old mini-HOWTO according to
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/1.1/html/Realtime_Tuning_Guide/sect-Realtime_Tuning_Guide-Realtime_Specific_Tuning-Using_the_ftrace_Utility_for_Tracing_Latencies.html
web manual.

I want you to change MRG Kernel from ftrace to function for
consistency in private.
Thank you for interesting article

Regards,
GeunSik Lim..
