Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: add ftrace_graph_max_depth kernel parameter
Date: Thu,  2 Mar 2017 16:12:15 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1488499935-23216-1-git-send-email-todd.e.brandt@linux.intel.com> (raw)

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 debugfs.
