To submit a patch you need to have:
1) useful subject line
[PATCH] subsystem: what does the patch do
subsystem in your care is: ftrace
2) useful patch description
explains what the patch does. Which bug/problem it fixes or which
enhancement it provides
Look at the git log. Each commit has an (more or lesss) usefull
description, but you get the idea. If you see a confusing or
cryptic description you need way more time to figure out what the
patch does or what it is supposed to do.
3) Your Signed-off-by
Signed-off-by is the certificate of origin as described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches
You can only add your own Signed-off-by. You never can add the
Signed-off-by of some one else.

That's how it might look later on. It would say:
GeunSik Lim wrote the patch
Steven Rostedt picked it up from your mail and sent it to Ingo
Ingo Molnar received it from Steven's mail and applied it
There is no way for you to forsee how your patch will be picked up and
propagated. It might go via Andrew Morton or directly to Linus. Ok ?
So you only add your own Signed-off-by.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
