[PATCH] pstore/ftrace: Keep ftrace module parameter and debugfs switch in sync
From: Guilherme G. Piccoli
Date: Sun Mar 01 2026 - 14:27:35 EST
Commit a5d05b07961a ("pstore/ftrace: Allow immediate recording")
introduced a kernel parameter to enable early-boot collection for
ftrace frontend. But then, if we enable the debugfs later, the
parameter remains set as N. This is not a biggie, things work fine;
but at the same time, why not have both in sync if possible, right?
