[PATCH v2 02/15] perf ftrace: add option '-F/--funcs' to list available functions

From: Changbin Du
Date: Sat Jun 27 2020 - 09:37:29 EST


This adds an option '-F/--funcs' to list all available functions to trace,
which is read from tracing file 'available_filter_functions'.

$ sudo ./perf ftrace -F | head
trace_initcall_finish_cb
initcall_blacklisted
do_one_initcall
do_one_initcall
trace_initcall_start_cb
run_init_process
try_to_run_init_process
match_dev_by_label
match_dev_by_uuid
rootfs_init_fs_context
