Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/1] ftrace - add support for tracing_thresh to function_graph
 tracer

(a bunch of format_flowed garbage)

Sorry - I updated my mail client and forgot to disable the format_flowed
option.

Here's the patch again, hopefully in better format this time.

This adds support for 'tracing_thresh' to the existing function_graph
tracer.  When 'tracing_thresh' is in effect, function entry events are
not stored - only function exits are stored.  This prevents filtered
functions from filling up the log. An extra option is added to allow
showing the function name with the exit event.  (Otherwise, all you
get are closing braces.)

Note that the 'funcgraph-exit' display option is valuable by itself,
since it makes the output much more 'grep-able'.
