* 'tracing-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (413 commits) tracing, net: fix net tree and tracing tree merge interaction tracing, powerpc: fix powerpc tree and tracing tree interaction ring-buffer: do not remove reader page from list on ring buffer free function-graph: allow unregistering twice trace: make argument 'mem' of trace_seq_putmem() const tracing: add missing 'extern' keywords to trace_output.h tracing: provide trace_seq_reserve() blktrace: print out BLK_TN_MESSAGE properly blktrace: extract duplidate code blktrace: fix memory leak when freeing struct blk_io_trace blktrace: fix blk_probes_ref chaos blktrace: make classic output more classic blktrace: fix off-by-one bug blktrace: fix the original blktrace blktrace: fix a race when creating blk_tree_root in debugfs blktrace: fix timestamp in binary output tracing, Text Edit Lock: cleanup tracing: filter fix for TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events ftrace: Using FTRACE_WARN_ON() to check "freed record" in ftrace_release() x86: kretprobe-booster interrupt emulation code fix ... Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/parisc/include/asm/ftrace.h include/linux/memory.h kernel/extable.c kernel/module.c

+ * General tracing related utility functions - trace_printk(),

+ *
+ * Use tracing_on/tracing_off when you want to quickly turn on or off
+ * tracing. It simply enables or disables the recording of the trace events.
+ * This also corresponds to the user space debugfs/tracing/tracing_on
+ * file, which gives a means for the kernel and userspace to interact.
+ * Place a tracing_off() in the kernel where you want tracing to end.
+ * From user space, examine the trace, and then echo 1 > tracing_on
+ * to continue tracing.
+ *
+ * tracing_stop/tracing_start has slightly more overhead. It is used
+ * by things like suspend to ram where disabling the recording of the
+ * trace is not enough, but tracing must actually stop because things
+ * like calling smp_processor_id() may crash the system.
+ *
+ * Most likely, you want to use tracing_on/tracing_off.
