From: Steven Rostedt Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 18:19:49 +0000 (-0500) Subject: tracing: Remove obsolete sched_switch tracer X-Git-Tag: v2.6.39-rc1~510^2~63^2~1 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=87d80de2800d;p=karo-tx-linux.git tracing: Remove obsolete sched_switch tracer The trace events sched_switch and sched_wakeup do the same thing as the stand alone sched_switch tracer does. It is no longer needed.
