This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ftrace: Consistently restore trace function on sysctl enabling to the 3.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ftrace-consistently-restore-trace-function-on-sysctl-enabling.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 5000c418840b309251c5887f0b56503aae30f84c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:53:03 +0100 Subject: ftrace: Consistently restore trace function on sysctl enabling From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5000c418840b309251c5887f0b56503aae30f84c upstream. If we reenable ftrace via syctl, we currently set ftrace_trace_function based on the previous simplistic algorithm. This is inconsistent with what update_ftrace_function does. So better call that helper instead.
