Subject: [PATCH 18/22] tracing: Remove unused function unregister_tracer()
Date: Fri, 02 Nov 2012 09:33:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121102133501.251584577@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20121102133251.998500247@goodmis.org
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1994 bytes --]
From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
The function register_tracer() is only used by kernel core code,
that never needs to remove the tracer. As trace_events have become
the main way to add new tracing to the kernel, the need to
unregister a tracer has diminished. Remove the unused function
unregister_tracer(). If a need arises where we need it, then we
can always add it back.
