[ 145/171 ] tracing: Prevent buffer overwrite disabled for latency tracers

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Apr 11 2013 - 17:20:08 EST


3.6.11.2 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

[ Upstream commit 613f04a0f51e6e68ac6fe571ab79da3c0a5eb4da ]

The latency tracers require the buffers to be in overwrite mode,
otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite
mode when latency tracers are enabled.

Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow
the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able
to prevent the change from happing.
