ftrace_graph_filter not working correctly since v4.10

[Todd Brandt <todd.e.brandt@linux.intel.com>]

I've been using early boot trace to gather callgraph data on filtered
functions but something appears to have broken it in v10.0. The graph
trace worked fine in v4.10-rc8, so something changed since the release.

Issue:
Using the ftrace_graph_filter kernel parameter to filter on a specific
function produces no data (msleep for instance). The graph trace also
continues to produce nothing even after reconfiguring it through
debugfs. It worked fine in v4.10-rc8 but fails in v4.10.

To reproduce:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="initcall_debug \
log_buf_len=32M \
trace_options=nooverwrite,\
funcgraph-abstime,\
funcgraph-cpu,\
funcgraph-duration,\
funcgraph-proc,\
funcgraph-tail,\
nofuncgraph-overhead,\
context-info,\
graph-time \
ftrace=function_graph \
ftrace_graph_filter=msleep"

The trace output is this:
# tracer: function_graph
#
#     TIME        CPU  TASK/PID         DURATION
FUNCTION CALLS
#      |          |     |    |           |   |                     |   |
|   |

After boot you can also run analyze_suspend to capture a callgraph and
it fails to get any callgraph data. It still gets trace marker data, but
not callgraph.

It seems to work ok if I don't set the ftrace_graph_filter. Has
something changed in the kernel params that I missed?

I'll dig a but further to see if I can track down the specific commit,
but I just wanted to see if anyone else experienced this.
