[PATCH 4/4] perf ftrace: Add -D option for depth filter

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Sun Jun 18 2017 - 10:23:54 EST


The -D/--graph-depth option is to set max graph depth. The following
example traces max 2-depth of page fault handler.

$ sudo perf ftrace -G __do_page_fault -D 2 -- hello
...
0) | __do_page_fault() {
0) 0.063 us | down_read_trylock();
0) 0.251 us | find_vma();
0) 5.374 us | handle_mm_fault();
0) 0.054 us | up_read();
0) 7.463 us | }
...
