[PATCH 4/5] tracing: make sched_switch stop/start light weight

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-tracing-make-sched_switch-stop-start-light-weight.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1764 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The stopping and starting of a tracer should be light weight and
be able to be called in all contexts. The sched_switch grabbed
mutexes in the start/stop functions. This patch changes it to a
simple variable, on/off.
