The '-g/-G' options have already implied function_graph tracer should be
used instead of function tracer. So we don't need extra option
'--tracer' in this case.
This patch changes the behavior as below:
- If '-g' or '-G' option is on, then function_graph tracer is used.
- If '-T' or '-N' option is on, then function tracer is used.
- The function_graph has priority over function tracer.
- The option '--tracer' only take effect if neither -g/-G nor -T/-N
is specified.
Here are some examples.
This will start tracing all functions using default tracer:
$ sudo perf ftrace
This will trace all functions using function graph tracer:
$ sudo perf ftrace -G '*'
This will trace function vfs_read using function graph tracer:
$ sudo perf ftrace -G vfs_read
This will trace function vfs_read using function tracer:
$ sudo perf ftrace -T vfs_read
Committer notes:
Using '-h -G' will tell what that option is about, so to further clarify
the above examples:
# perf ftrace -h -G
-G, --graph-funcs <func> Set graph filter on given functions
# perf ftrace -h -g
-g, --nograph-funcs <func> Set nograph filter on given functions
# perf ftrace -h -T
-T, --trace-funcs <func> trace given functions only
# perf ftrace -h -N
-N, --notrace-funcs <func> do not trace given functions
