[PATCH 2/2] tracing: Call traceoff trigger after event is recorded
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Sun Sep 25 2016 - 10:48:07 EST
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
Call traceoff trigger after the event is recorded.
Since current traceoff trigger is called before recording
the event, we can not know what event stopped tracing.
Typical usecase of traceoff/traceon trigger is tracing
function calls and trace events between a pair of events.
For example, trace function calls between syscall entry/exit.
In that case, it is useful if we can see the return code
of the target syscall.
