[PATCH 4/4] function-graph: Add tracing_thresh support to function_graph tracer
From: Tim Bird <tim.bird(a)am.sony.com> 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 gra... 5 Mar 2010 21:49

ftrace: replace read_barrier_depends() with rcu_dereference_raw()
