As with trace-cmd, I like to reset files like this even when not enabling function_graph tracer. -- Steve > return -1; > > reset_tracing_filters(); > -- > 1.9.1

I'll include that change in the next version of the patches. Thanks,

When linux is built without support for function graph tracer, the ftrace builtin of perf will fail when trying to reset max_graph_depth because the file does not exist. This prevents the use of function tracer from perf. Do not attempt to write this file when the tracer in use is not function_graph.
