[PATCH] perf ftrace: Add -O option to set trace option

From: changbin . du
Date: Fri Sep 15 2017 - 07:25:55 EST


From: Changbin Du <changbin.du@xxxxxxxxx>

There are some trace options to control what gets printed in the trace
output or manipulate the tracers. This patch add a commandline option
to set it.

Example:
perf ftrace -t function -O noprint-parent --trace-funcs "__kmalloc" -a
Xorg-1874 [002] .... 4107.182911: __kmalloc
Xorg-1874 [002] .... 4107.182920: __kmalloc

perf ftrace -t function -O print-parent --trace-funcs "__kmalloc" -a
Xorg-1874 [000] .... 3924.917243: __kmalloc <-drm_atomic_state_init
Xorg-1874 [000] .... 3924.917251: __kmalloc <-drm_atomic_state_init
