[for-next][PATCH 7/7] ftrace/graph: Add ftrace_graph_max_depth kernel parameter

Show all headers | View raw

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.
