+This script parses a trace provided by the function tracer in
+kernel/trace/trace_functions.c
+The resulted trace is processed into a tree to produce a more human
+view of the call stack by drawing textual but hierarchical tree of
+calls. Only the functions's names and the call time are provided.
+
+Usage:
+ Be sure that you have CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
+ # mount -t tracefs nodev /sys/kernel/tracing
+ # echo function > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe > ~/raw_trace_func
+ Wait some times but not too much, the script is a bit slow.
+ Break the pipe (Ctrl + Z)
+ $ scripts/tracing/draw_functrace.py < ~/raw_trace_func > draw_functrace
+ Then you have your drawn trace in draw_functrace

+# Here's how to use this:
+#
+# This script is used to help find functions that are being traced by function
+# tracer or function graph tracing that causes the machine to reboot, hang, or
+# crash. Here's the steps to take.
+#
+# First, determine if function tracing is working with a single function:
+#
+# (note, if this is a problem with function_graph tracing, then simply
+# replace "function" with "function_graph" in the following steps).
+#
+# # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
+# # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter
+# # echo function > current_tracer
+#
+# If this works, then we know that something is being traced that shouldn't be.
+#
+# # echo nop > current_tracer
+#
+# Starting with v5.1 this can be done with numbers, making it much faster:
+#
+# The old (slow) way, for kernels before v5.1.
+#
+# [old-way] # cat available_filter_functions > ~/full-file
+#
+# [old-way] *** Note *** this process will take several minutes to update the
+# [old-way] filters. Setting multiple functions is an O(n^2) operation, and we
+# [old-way] are dealing with thousands of functions. So go have coffee, talk
+# [old-way] with your coworkers, read facebook. And eventually, this operation
+# [old-way] will end.
+#
+# The new way (using numbers) is an O(n) operation, and usually takes less than a second.
+#
+# seq `wc -l available_filter_functions | cut -d' ' -f1` > ~/full-file
+#
+# This will create a sequence of numbers that match the functions in
+# available_filter_functions, and when echoing in a number into the
+# set_ftrace_filter file, it will enable the corresponding function in
+# O(1) time. Making enabling all functions O(n) where n is the number of
+# functions to enable.
+#
+# For either the new or old way, the rest of the operations remain the same.
+#
+# # ftrace-bisect ~/full-file ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
+# # cat ~/test-file > set_ftrace_filter
+#
+# # echo function > current_tracer
+#
+# If it crashes, we know that ~/test-file has a bad function.
+#
+# Reboot back to test kernel.
+#
+# # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
+# # mv ~/test-file ~/full-file
+#
+# If it didn't crash.
+#
+# # echo nop > current_tracer
+# # mv ~/non-test-file ~/full-file
+#
+# Get rid of the other test file from previous run (or save them off somewhere).
+# # rm -f ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
+#
+# And start again:
+#
+# # ftrace-bisect ~/full-file ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
+#
+# The good thing is, because this cuts the number of functions in ~/test-file
+# by half, the cat of it into set_ftrace_filter takes half as long each
+# iteration, so don't talk so much at the water cooler the second time.
+#
+# Eventually, if you did this correctly, you will get down to the problem
+# function, and all we need to do is to notrace it.
+#
+# The way to figure out if the problem function is bad, just do:
+#
+# # echo <problem-function> > set_ftrace_notrace
+# # echo > set_ftrace_filter
+# # echo function > current_tracer
+#
+# And if it doesn't crash, we are done.
+#
+# If it does crash, do this again (there's more than one problem function)
+# but you need to echo the problem function(s) into set_ftrace_notrace before
+# enabling function tracing in the above steps. Or if you can compile the
+# kernel, annotate the problem functions with "notrace" and start again.
