Subject: [PATCH] perf: ftrace: flush output after each writing
Date:   Sat, 13 May 2023 15:40:00 +0800
Message-ID: <20230513074000.733550-1-changbin.du@huawei.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT
Content-Type:   text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Precedence: bulk

The pager will result stdout in full buffering mode instead of line
buffering. We need to make the trace visible timely.
