[PATCH] tracing/function-graph-tracer: make set_graph_function file support ftrace regex

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Thu Feb 19 2009 - 16:05:23 EST


Impact: trace only functions matching a pattern

The set_graph_function file let one to trace only one or several
chosen functions and follow all their code flow.

Currently, only a constant function name is allowed so this patch
allows the ftrace_regex functions:

_ matches all functions that end with "name":
echo *name > set_graph_function

_ matches all functions that begin with "name":
echo name* > set_graph_function

_ matches all functions that contains "name":
echo *name* > set_graph_function

Example:

echo mutex* > set_graph_function

0) | mutex_lock_nested() {
0) 0.563 us | __might_sleep();
0) 2.072 us | }
0) | mutex_unlock() {
0) 1.036 us | __mutex_unlock_slowpath();
0) 2.433 us | }
0) | mutex_unlock() {
0) 0.691 us | __mutex_unlock_slowpath();
0) 1.787 us | }
0) | mutex_lock_interruptible_nested() {
0) 0.548 us | __might_sleep();
0) 1.945 us | }
