[PATCH 04/14] tracing/function: Avoid perf_trace_buf_*() if event_function.perf_events is empty

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-tracing-function-Avoid-perf_trace_buf_-if-event_func.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1348 bytes --]

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit(head, task => NULL)
make no sense if hlist_empty(head). Change perf_ftrace_function_call()
to check event_function.perf_events beforehand.
