[RFC][PATCH 3/8] ftrace: Set ftrace internal function tracing RCU safe

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Aug 30 2013 - 09:29:44 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Since none of the internal ftrace function tracing uses RCU in
their callbacks, it is OK to set the global_ops (the one that
they all use) to RCU safe.
