hum, haven't checked, but looks like the filter is not working at all now:

[root@krava perf]# ./perf ftrace -vv -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs proc_sys_read
write ' ' to tracing/set_ftrace_pid failed: Invalid argument
[root@krava perf]# ./perf ftrace -vv -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs SyS_read
write ' ' to tracing/set_ftrace_pid failed: Invalid argument
[root@krava perf]# ./perf ftrace -vv -a --graph-depth 1 --graph-funcs fsnotify
write ' ' to tracing/set_ftrace_pid failed: Invalid argument
