[PATCH v3] pstore/ftrace: Convert to its own enable/disable debugfsknob
From: Anton Vorontsov
Date: Wed Jul 18 2012 - 15:33:04 EST
With this patch we no longer reuse function tracer infrastructure, now
we register our own tracer back-end via a debugfs knob.
It's a bit more code, but that is the only downside. On the bright side we
have:
- Ability to make persistent_ram module removable (when needed, we can
move ftrace_ops struct into a module). Note that persistent_ram is still
not removable for other reasons, but with this patch it's just one
thing less to worry about;
- Pstore part is more isolated from the generic function tracer. We tried
it already by registering our own tracer in available_tracers, but that
way we're loosing ability to see the traces while we record them to
pstore. This solution is somewhere in the middle: we only register
"internal ftracer" back-end, but not the "front-end";
- When there is only pstore tracing enabled, the kernel will only write
to the pstore buffer, omitting function tracer buffer (which, of course,
still can be enabled via 'echo function > current_tracer').

Well, that might be not pretty, yeah. OK, since debugfs is mandatory
anyway, let's check for !NULL then, it's also less lines of code. :-)
Thanks a lot for the review, Stephen!
