From cb4764a6dbffd9bb3cf759421ae82384071a933d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 18:16:44 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: use nowakeup version of commit for function event trace tests The startup tests for the event tracer also runs with the function tracer enabled. The "wakeup" version of the trace commit was used which can grab spinlocks. If a task was preempted by an NMI that called a function being traced, it could deadlock due to the function tracer trying to grab the same lock. Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing out where the bug was.
