From 69bb54ec05f57da7f6fac2cec0820cbc970df20f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:59:38 -0500 Subject: ftrace: add ftrace_off_permanent Impact: add new API to disable all of ftrace on anomalies It case of a serious anomaly being detected (like something caught by lockdep) it is a good idea to disable all tracing immediately, without grabing any locks. This patch adds ftrace_off_permanent that disables the tracers, function tracing and ring buffers without a way to enable them again. This should only be used when something serious has been detected.
