From a2bb6a3d85ef3124cd336403a95abc0540d3fbe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:58:15 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: add ftrace_kill_atomic It has been suggested that I add a way to disable the function tracer on an oops. This code adds a ftrace_kill_atomic. It is not meant to be used in normal situations. It will disable the ftrace tracer, but will not perform the nice shutdown that requires scheduling.
