Namhyung Kim e5f2024cb9 perf ftrace profile: Add --graph-opts option
Like trace subcommand, it should be able to pass some options to control
the tracing behavior for the function graph tracer.

But some options are limited in order to maintain the internal behavior.

For example, it can limit the function call depth like below:

  # perf ftrace profile --graph-opts depth=5 -- myprog

Committer testing:

  root@number:~# perf ftrace profile --graph-opts thresh=1000 -- sleep 1
  # Total (us)   Avg (us)   Max (us)      Count   Function

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
