From 5bc4564b224c3d9fe6dddafa25f56059bd978231 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:36:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] trace: do not disable wake up tracer on output of trace Impact: fix to erased trace output To try not to have the outputing of a trace interfere with the wakeup tracer, it would disable tracing while the output was printing. But if a trace had started when it was disabled, it can show a partial trace. To try to solve this, on closing of the tracer, it would clear the trace buffer. The latency tracers (wakeup and irqsoff) have two buffers. One for recording and one for holding the max trace that is printed. The clearing of the trace above should only affect the recording buffer. But for some reason it would move the erased trace to the print buffer. Probably due to a race with the closing of the trace and the saving ofhe max race. The above is all pretty useless, and if the user does not want the printing of the trace to be traced itself, then the user can manual disable tracing. This patch removes all the code that tries to keep the output of the tracer from modifying the trace.
