[PATCH v2 2/3] perf ftrace: Add --graph-opts option to profile subcommand

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Tue Jan 07 2025 - 17:44:07 EST


Like trace subcommand, it should be able to pass some options to control
the tracing behavior for the function graph tracer. But some options
are limited in order to maintain the internal behavior.

For example, it can limit the function call depth like below:

# perf ftrace profile --graph-opts depth=5 -- myprog
