From 3e1f60b80cafcb5d7e8d3665b35962fbb8fb9efa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 23:10:45 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/ftrace: check if debugfs is registered before creating files Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers, they will attempt to create their option directory and files. But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned as "boot tracers" very early if asked to. Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall), a crash is triggered. Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root tracing directory.
