I think renaming ftrace one would be better, since gdb picked perf one > for whatever reason. Because of the sort algorithm. But from a technical perspective, the ring buffer that ftrace uses is generic, where the perf ring buffer can only be used for perf. Call it "event_ring_buffer" or whatever, but it's not generic and should not have a generic name. -- Steve
