I finally got around to looking at your patches. Do you plan on still
working on them? I really like this feature, and I'm willing to do the work
too if you have other things on your plate.

BTW, this is missing:

that you added in patch 7, but is needed for this patch, where it does not

This should have a different event type, to not waste the ring buffer when
not needed.

struct ftrace_graph_ent_args {
	struct ftrace_regs_args fargs;
	unsigned long func; /* Current function */
	int depth;
} __packed;

But also, we need to create a new structure, as nothing should depend on
the size of ftrace_regs (we plan on hiding that completely). I can add a
"struct ftrace_regs_args" that will hold just the args for each arch.
Especially for archs (like x86) where ftrace_regs can be pt_regs in size,
where most of the space is just wasted. Then we can do a:

	ftrace_regs_copy_args(fregs, &entry->addr);

And then:

	char buf[ftrace_regs_size()];
	struct ftrace_regs *fregs = &buf;

	ftrace_regs_from_args(fregs, &entry->addr);

to get the arguments.

Ideally, the flag is going to be set when args is recorded and not used for
printing. If the event is the ftrace_ent_args() this will print the
arguments, otherwise it does not.

To simplify these functions, we probably need to have a:

union fgraph_entry {
	struct ftrace_graph_ent		*normal;
	struct ftrace_graph_ent_args	*args;
};

And switch depending which is which (the header of both is the same as is
for all entries).
