    tracing/function-return-tracer: add the overrun field · 0231022c

    Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
    
    We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
    "20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
    measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
    for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
    do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
    /debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
    right.
    
    As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.
