This script parses a trace provided by the function tracer in
kernel/trace/trace_functions.c
The resulted trace is processed into a tree to produce a more human
view of the call stack by drawing textual but hierarchical tree of
calls. Only the functions's names and the the call time are provided.

Usage:
	Be sure that you have CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
	# mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug
	# echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
	$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe > ~/raw_trace_func
	Wait some times but not too much, the script is a bit slow.
	Break the pipe (Ctrl + Z)
	$ scripts/draw_functrace.py < raw_trace_func > draw_functrace
	Then you have your drawn trace in draw_functrace
