[PATCH] tracing: Export tracing_start() and tracing_stop()

From: Vincent Whitchurch
Date: Wed Jun 02 2021 - 04:01:55 EST


tracing_stop() is very useful during hands-on debugging for getting the
trace to stop exactly when the problem is detected. Export this to
modules.

Personally, I haven't yet found the need to use tracing_start() from
code since I usually start tracing via tracefs, but export that too for
symmetry since it may have its uses together with tracing_stop().
