[PATCH] Update old Mini-HOWTO for ftrace

From: GeunSik Lim
Date: Mon Apr 06 2009 - 10:03:18 EST


Dear Steven,

The author of ftrace(Internal kernel Function Tracer) feature
renamed the ftrace tracer
to function to avoid further confusion between the ftrace
infrastructure and the
function tracer on Oct-20, 2008.

But, Update of Mini-HOWTO document are still not working
.
Most of the developers often utilize "/debug/tracing/README" file
as Mini-HOWTO.
They will confuse definition and usage about ftrace between
README(ftrace) file
and available_tracers(function) file after linux-2.6.27 like me.
And, I want you to append "chrt -f 5 sleep 1" command as simple
example for latency.
