Namhyung Kim 78b83e8b12 perf ftrace: Add option for function filtering
The -T/--trace-funcs and -N/--notrace-funcs options are to specify
functions to enable/disable tracing dynamically.

The -G/--graph-funcs and -g/--nograph-funcs options are to set filters
for function graph tracer.

For example, to trace fault handling functions only:

  $ sudo perf ftrace -T *fault hello
   0)               |  __do_page_fault() {
   0)               |    handle_mm_fault() {
   0)   2.117 us    |      __handle_mm_fault();
   0)   3.627 us    |    }
   0)   7.811 us    |  }
   0)               |  __do_page_fault() {
   0)               |    handle_mm_fault() {
   0)   2.014 us    |      __handle_mm_fault();
   0)   2.424 us    |    }
   0)   2.951 us    |  }
   ...

To trace all functions executed in __do_page_fault:

  $ sudo perf ftrace -G __do_page_fault hello
   2)               |  __do_page_fault() {
   3)   0.060 us    |    down_read_trylock();
   3)               |    find_vma() {
   3)   0.075 us    |      vmacache_find();
   3)   0.053 us    |      vmacache_update();
   3)   1.246 us    |    }
   3)               |    handle_mm_fault() {
   3)   0.063 us    |      __rcu_read_lock();
   3)   0.056 us    |      mem_cgroup_from_task();
   3)   0.057 us    |      __rcu_read_unlock();
   3)               |      __handle_mm_fault() {
   3)               |        filemap_map_pages() {
   3)   0.058 us    |          __rcu_read_lock();
   3)               |          alloc_set_pte() {
   ...

But don't want to show details in handle_mm_fault:

  $ sudo perf ftrace -G __do_page_fault -g handle_mm_fault hello
   3)               |  __do_page_fault() {
   3)   0.049 us    |    down_read_trylock();
   3)               |    find_vma() {
   3)   0.048 us    |      vmacache_find();
   3)   0.041 us    |      vmacache_update();
   3)   0.680 us    |    }
   3)   0.036 us    |    up_read();
   3)   4.547 us    |  } /* __do_page_fault */
   ...
