Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tracing: Call traceoff trigger after event is recorded
Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2016 10:47:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160925144751.607663654@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20160925144714.728554031@goodmis.org

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Call traceoff trigger after the event is recorded.
Since current traceoff trigger is called before recording
the event, we can not know what event stopped tracing.

Typical usecase of traceoff/traceon trigger is tracing
function calls and trace events between a pair of events.
For example, trace function calls between syscall entry/exit.
In that case, it is useful if we can see the return code
of the target syscall.
