From c2931e05ec5965597cbfb79ad332d4a29aeceb23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2008 22:04:44 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer When one try to set a nonexistent tracer, no error is returned as if the name of the tracer was correct. We should return -EINVAL.
