[PATCH 05/15] perf tools: Introduce new 'ftrace' tool

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Tue May 14 2013 - 06:17:38 EST


From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

The ftrace command is a simple wrapper of kernel's ftrace
functionality. It only supports single thread tracing currently and
just reads trace_pipe in text and then write it to stdout.
