Great :)

I think you can also put your stress tests in the ftrace/ directory
(or just make a sub-directory for them). Even ftracetest doesn't
run them, we can update Makefile so that kselftest can run them.
For example, I will add a testcase for my IPMODFIY as a separated
test(ftrace/ipmodify), since it involves some special kernel modules
and doesn't use ftrace debugfs interface but tests ftrace(function trace).

Thank you,
