+- dump
+ When the function is hit, it will dump the contents of the ftrace
+ ring buffer to the console. This is useful if you need to debug
+ something, and want to dump the trace when a certain function
+ is hit. Perhaps its a function that is called before a tripple
+ fault happens and does not allow you to get a regular dump.

+- cpudump
+ When the function is hit, it will dump the contents of the ftrace
+ ring buffer for the current CPU to the console. Unlike the "dump"
+ command, it only prints out the contents of the ring buffer for the
+ CPU that executed the function that triggered the dump.
