[PATCH] perf: ftrace: Add filter support for option -F/--funcs

From: Changbin Du
Date: Sun Aug 23 2020 - 01:50:54 EST


Same as 'perf probe -F', this patch adds filter support for the ftrace
subcommand option '-F, --funcs <[FILTER]>'.

Here is an example that only lists functions which start with 'vfs_':
$ sudo perf ftrace -F vfs_*
vfs_fadvise
vfs_fallocate
vfs_truncate
vfs_open
vfs_setpos
vfs_llseek
vfs_readf
vfs_writef
...
