Subject: [for-next][PATCH 7/7] ftrace/graph: Add ftrace_graph_max_depth kernel parameter
Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2017 09:47:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170303144730.413556038@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20170303144703.437052140@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0007-ftrace-graph-Add-ftrace_graph_max_depth-kernel-param.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2142 bytes --]

From: Todd Brandt <todd.e.brandt@linux.intel.com>

Early trace callgraphs can be extremely large on systems with
several seconds of boot time. The max_depth parameter limits how
deep the graph trace goes and reduces the output size. This
parameter is the same as the max_graph_depth file in tracefs.
