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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
