Lets say you want to know what ext2/ext3/ext4 functions are called when you run mkdir command on ext2/ext3/ext4 mounted filesystem. Then you can trace each kernel function with ftrace.

With kdump you get memory dump of currently running kernel and then you debug it.
kdb will help you to debug the currently running kernel.
I hope this clears some of your doubts.

I really want to know is the differences between ftrace and other kernel debug
tools such as kdump, kdb, etc.
