Ah, figured it out. The updated pid test isn't working. This explains why
my test machine didn't fail, as it doesn't have the updated ftracetests.

The problem was that I never set the funcgraph-proc option, even though I
saved it :-p

That is, it shows:

But when you do: echo 1 > options/funcgraph-proc

You get:

# cat trace
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU  TASK/PID         DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
# |     |    |           |   |                     |   |   |   |

 4)    bash-939    | ! 996.557 us  |  kernel_clone();

Without that option, function graph does no show what process is being
recorded (except at sched switch)

Can you add this patch to the test and see if it works again?
