funccount

#!/bin/bash
#
# funccount - count kernel function calls matching specified wildcards.
#             Uses Linux ftrace.
#
# This is a proof of concept using Linux ftrace capabilities on older kernels,
# and works by using function profiling: in-kernel counters.
#
# USAGE: funccount [-hT] [-i secs] [-d secs] [-t top] funcstring
#    eg,
#        funccount 'ext3*'	# count all ext3* kernel function calls
#
# Run "funccount -h" for full usage.
#
# WARNING: This uses dynamic tracing of kernel functions, and could cause
# kernel panics or freezes. Test, and know what you are doing, before use.
#
# REQUIREMENTS: CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER, awk.
