[PATCH v4 3/4] ftrace: Have funcgraph-args take affect during tracing

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Feb 27 2025 - 13:58:04 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, when function_graph is started, it looks at the option
funcgraph-args, and if it is set, it will enable tracing of the arguments.

But if tracing is already running, and the user enables funcgraph-args, it
will have no effect. Instead, it should enable argument tracing when it is
enabled, even if it means disabling the function graph tracing for a short
time in order to do the transition.
