Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: add max field to function profiler stats
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 11:01:08 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924030108.2673654-1-yun.zhou@windriver.com> (raw)

The function profiler (trace_stat/function<cpu>) reports Hit, Time,
Avg and s^2 per function. Add a "max" field recording the maximum
single-call duration, which is valuable for real-time tuning and for
investigating occasional latency spikes.

Like Time/Avg, it honors the graph-time and sleep-time options, so it
reflects entry-to-return wall-clock latency.
