Hi Folks, sorry for the delay... thanks everyone for the feedback's.

I applied almost all the requested adjustments, except this one:

 > echo '!*:traceoff' > "$SYSFS_TRACING_DIR/set_ftrace_filter"
causes this error:  "echo: write error: no such device"

 > echo "" > "$SYSFS_TRACING_DIR/current_tracer"
causes this error:  "echo: write error: invalid argument"

I sent a new patchSet(splited) to the list.

Cheers,
