From: Viktor Rosendahl <Viktor.Rosendahl@xxxxxx> commit da7f84cdf02fd5f66864041f45018b328911b722 upstream. Eaerlier, tracing was disabled when reading the trace file. This behavior was changed with: commit 06e0a548bad0 ("tracing: Do not disable tracing when reading the trace file"). This doesn't seem to work with the latency tracers. The above mentioned commit dit not only change the behavior but also added an option to emulate the old behavior. The idea with this patch is to enable this pause-on-trace option when the latency tracers are used.
