3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 099ed151675cd1d2dbeae1dac697975f6a68716d upstream. Disabling reading and writing to the trace file should not be able to disable all function tracing callbacks. There's other users today (like kprobes and perf). Reading a trace file should not stop those from happening.
