The usage of proftool in docs is incorrect. If proftool is used without
'-o' argument, it will show the usage like following
$ ./sandbox/tools/proftool -m sandbox/System.map -t trace -f funcgraph dump-ftrace >trace.dat
Must provide trace data, System.map file and output file
Usage: proftool [-cmtv] <cmd> <profdata>
Change '>' to '-o' to fix it.

Again, you can use kernelshark or trace-cmd to look at the output. In this case
you will see the time taken by each function shown against its exit record.
