[PATCH 2/3] ftrace: disable ftrace on anomalies in trace start and stop

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Nov 14 2008 - 19:46:35 EST


Impact: robust feature to disable ftrace on start or stop tracing on error

Currently only the initial conversion to nops will disable ftrace
on an anomaly. But if an anomaly happens on start or stopping of the
tracer, it will silently fail.

This patch adds a check there too, to disable ftrace and warn if the
conversion fails.
