#
# funcslower  Trace slow kernel or user function calls.
#             For Linux, uses BCC, eBPF.
#
# USAGE: funcslower [-h] [-p PID] [-m MIN_MS] [-u MIN_US] [-a ARGUMENTS]
#                   [-T] [-t] [-v] function [function ...]
#
# WARNING: This tool traces function calls by instrumenting the entry and
# return from each function. For commonly-invoked functions like memory allocs
# or file writes, this can be extremely expensive. Mind the overhead.
#
# NOTE: This tool cannot trace nested functions in the same invocation
# due to instrumentation specifics, only innermost calls will be visible.
#
# By default, a minimum millisecond threshold of 1 is used.
