[PATCH] ftrace: add kernel command line graph function filtering

From: Stefan Assmann
Date: Mon Oct 12 2009 - 03:11:47 EST


Add a command line parameter to allow limiting the function graphs that
are traced on boot up, when ftrace=function_graph is specified.

This patch adds the following command line option:
ftrace_graph_filter=function-list

Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.
