Namhyung Kim a9af6be5bc perf ftrace: Add support for --pid option
The -p (--pid) option enables to trace existing process by its pid.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

Using the function_graph tracer on a process that is just waiting for user
input and thus will make 'perf ftrace' sit there waiting for that, then press
any key on that mutt session and see what happens:

  # perf ftrace -t function_graph -p `pidof mutt` | head -40
  2)   1.038 us    |  switch_mm_irqs_off();
  ------------------------------------------
  2)    <idle>-0    =>   mutt-3595

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
