From 14a866c567e040ccf6240d68b083dd1dbbde63e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2008 23:50:02 -0500 Subject: ftrace: add ftrace_graph_stop() Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function. Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot. The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function. Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph, which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely lock the box up if it were to trigger. This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.
