May I suggest putting the times in front of the functions, the times can
be rendered in fixed with, avoiding all this unaligned foobar.

Furthermore, it would be really sweet if ftrace_printk() output would be
at the right indentation level wrt the function it was called from. eg.

CPU[000] - do_sync_read() {
CPU[000] # sock: 0x12345 flag: 1
CPU[000] - sock_aio_read() {
...
CPU[000] + 0.123 }


Where the # line is the ftrace_printk() output.
