Hmm, I already had hunk #3 in your git tree v4.

After patching your tree with just the first 2 hunks, I'm able to
get ftrace-style function graphing out of perf.

# ./perf ftrace record df

Nice.

Not sure if you intend to move all ftrace functionality over to
perf ftrace, but the function graph timings is a great start and something sorely
missing.

Do you intend to add -e event support or -l function-specific options ?  In the real
world, without filtering on events or functions, I've had systems hang, plus
performance impact is too great.

A common invocation of ftrace via trace-cmd is:
# trace-cmd record -p function_graph -e irq:* -l do_IRQ ping -c1 www.redhat.com

So possible perf equivalent?
# ./perf ftrace record -e irq:* -e do_IRQ ping -c1 www.redhat.com

Thanks!
