The -p (--pid) option enables to trace existing process by its pid.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

Using the function_graph tracer on a process that is just waiting for user
input and thus will make 'perf ftrace' sit there waiting for that, then press
any key on that mutt session and see what happens:

  # perf ftrace -t function_graph -p `pidof mutt` | head -40
