Subject: [PATCH 0/2] [GIT PULL] tracing: A couple more regression fixes
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2013 22:20:42 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130115032042.472099050@goodmis.org> (raw)

Linus,

The clean up patch commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal
to tracing_on" caused two regressions.

1) The irqs off latency tracer no longer starts if tracing_on is off
  when the tracer is set, and then tracing_on is enabled. The tracing_on
  file needs the hook that tracing_enabled had to enable tracers if they
  request it (call the tracer's start() method).

2) That commit had a separate change that really should have been a
  separate patch, but it must have been added accidently with the -a
  option of git commit. But as the change is still related to the commit
  it wasn't noticed in review. That change, changed the way blocking is
  done by the trace_pipe file with respect to the tracing_on settings.
  I've been told that this change breaks current userspace, and this
  specific change is being reverted.

Please pull trace-3.8-rc3-regression-fix, which can be found at:
