[PATCH 0/2] [GIT PULL] tracing: A couple of fixes

[Steven Rostedt]

Linus,

This contains two fixes.

The first is to remove a duplication of creating debugfs files that
already exist and causes an error report to be printed due to the
failure of the second creation.

The second is a memory leak fix that was introduced in 3.14.

Please pull the latest trace-fixes-v3.15-rc1 tree, which can be found at:

[PATCH 1/2] tracing: Do not try to recreated toplevel set_ftrace_* files

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-tracing-Do-not-try-to-recreated-toplevel-set_ftrace_.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1852 bytes --]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

With the restructing of the function tracer working with instances, the
"top level" buffer is a bit special, as the function tracing is mapped
to the same set of filters. This is done by using a "global_ops" descriptor
and having the "set_ftrace_filter" and "set_ftrace_notrace" map to it.

When an instance is created, it creates the same files but its for the
local instance and not the global_ops.

The issues is that the local instance creation shares some code with
the global instance one and we end up trying to create th top level
"set_ftrace_*" files twice, and on boot up, we get an error like this:

 Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_filter' entry
 Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_notrace' entry

The reason they failed to be created was because they were created
twice, and the second time gives this error as you can not create the
same file twice.
