Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ftrace: make some tracers reentrant
Date: Sat, 04 Oct 2008 02:01:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081004060211.867050767@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20081004060057.660306328@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: ftrace-disable-less.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 3588 bytes --]

Now that the ring buffer is reentrant, some of the ftrace tracers
(sched_swich, debugging traces) can also be reentrant.

Note: Never make the function tracer reentrant, that can cause
  recursion problems all over the kernel. The function tracer
  must disable reentrancy.
