Sorry but NAK to this,

What use to be:

 2) + 25.633 us   |                        }
 3) ! 252.132 us  |              } /* do_softirq */
 2) ! 898.211 us  |                      } /* rcu_process_callbacks */
 2)               |                      /* softirq_exit: vec=9 [action=RCU] */
 3)   5.534 us    |              rcu_irq_exit();
 2)   6.405 us    |                      preempt_schedule();
 3)   5.221 us    |              idle_cpu();
 2)   6.014 us    |                      rcu_bh_qs();
 3) ! 289.729 us  |            } /* irq_exit */
 2)               |                      /* softirq_entry: vec=1 [action=TIMER] */
 3) ! 860.416 us  |          } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */
 3)   <========== |
 2)   5.785 us    |                      preempt_schedule();


Is now:

Keep the function graph output as is. You can still add the event
callbacks but do not remove the print_line of the function graph tracer.
That simply breaks what we worked hard to format nicely.
