Hi Masami, This looks great. I'm a bit busy at the moment (just came back from vacation, and digging myself out of the hole that left me). But I definitely want this in. I have a bunch of tests too, that I can put on top of this. My tests are rather hacky, and hard code a lot of stuff in them, but they do test a bunch of features of ftrace. It shouldn't be too hard to include them here.

It will be one of discussion points. Anyway, > it is easy to integrate this to the selftests. I agree. I think having its own directory is a good idea. Lets see what other people think. When I get time, I'll see if I can start a branch that pulls this in and start adding my own tests on top of it.
