The 'ftdump' command in kdb is currently a bit of a last resort, at least if you have lots of traces turned on. It's going to print a whole boatload of data out your serial port which is probably running at 115200. This could easily take many, many minutes. Usually you're most interested in what's at the _end_ of the ftrace buffer, AKA what happened most recently. That means you've got to wait the full time for the dump. The 'ftdump' command does attempt to help you a little bit by allowing you to skip a fixed number of entries. Unfortunately it provides no way for you to know how many entries you should skip. Let's do similar to python and allow you to use a negative number to indicate that you want to skip all entries except the last few. This allows you to quickly see what you want. Note that we also change the printout in ftdump to print the (positive) number of entries actually skipped since that could be helpful to know when you've specified a negative skip count.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
