function_graph traces look like nested function calls, complete with braces denoting the start and end of functions. function-graph-fold.vim teaches vim how to fold these functions, to make it more convenient to browse them. To use, :source function-graph-fold.vim while viewing a function_graph trace, or use "view -S function-graph-fold.vim some-trace" to load it from the command-line together with a trace. You can then use the usual vim fold commands, such as "za", to open and close nested functions. While closed, a fold will show the total time taken for a call, as would normally appear on the line with the closing brace. Folded functions will not include finish_task_switch(), so folding should remain relatively sane even through a context switch. Note that this will almost certainly only work well with a single-CPU trace (e.g. trace-cmd report --cpu 1). It also takes some time to run (a few seconds for a large trace on my laptop). Nevertheless, I found it very handy to get an overview of a trace and then drill down on problematic calls. Signed-off-by:

Many developers use "/debug/" or "/debugfs/" or "/sys/kernel/debug/" directory name to mount debugfs filesystem for ftrace according to ./Documentation/tracers/ftrace.txt file. And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation, Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem. debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name of debugfs filesystem. - debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/ Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem. * From Steven Rostedt - find_debugfs() and tracing_files() in this patch.

Fix typo about chart to map the kernel priority to user land priorities. * About sched_setscheduler(2) Processes scheduled under SCHED_FIFO or SCHED_RR can have a (user-space) static priority in the range 1 to 99. (reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/ man2/sched_setscheduler.2.html) * From: Steven Rostedt 0 to 98 - maps to RT tasks 99 to 1 (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO) 99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow for it. 100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via sched_setscheduler, but are set via the nice system call. 140 - reserved for idle tasks. Signed-off-by:
