[PATCH 36/37] perf script: Implement --graph-function

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Oct 25 2018 - 07:12:29 EST


From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a ftrace style --graph-function argument to 'perf script' that
allows to print itrace function calls only below a given function. This
makes it easier to find the code of interest in a large trace.

% perf record -e intel_pt//k -a sleep 1
