From 0f04870148ecb825133bc2733f473b1c5773ac0b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2008 16:05:44 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: soft tracing stop and start Impact: add way to quickly start stop tracing from the kernel This patch adds a soft stop and start to the trace. This simply disables function tracing via the ftrace_disabled flag, and disables the trace buffers to prevent recording. The tracing code may still be executed, but the trace will not be recorded.
