function-graph: Add tracing_thresh support to function_graph tracer
Add support for tracing_thresh to the function_graph tracer. This
version of this feature isolates the checks into new entry and
return functions, to avoid adding more conditional code into the
main function_graph paths.
When the tracing_thresh is set and the function graph tracer is
enabled, only the functions that took longer than the time in
microseconds that was set in tracing_thresh are recorded. To do this
efficiently, only the function exits are recorded:
[tracing]# echo 100 > tracing_thresh
[tracing]# echo function_graph > current_tracer
[tracing]# cat trace
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS

0) ! 168.817 us | } /* irq_exit */
0) ! 248.254 us | } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */
Also, add support for specifying tracing_thresh on the kernel
command line. When used like so: "tracing_thresh=200 ftrace=function_graph"
this can be used to analyse system startup. It is important to disable
tracing soon after boot, in order to avoid losing the trace data.
