ftrace: add quick function trace stop
Impact: quick start and stop of function tracer This patch adds a way to disable the function tracer quickly without the need to run kstop_machine. It adds a new variable called function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount when set. This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion like preempt_disable(). It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine. The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code. x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
