From: Steven Rostedt <rost...@goodmis.org> The per CPU "disabled" value was the original way to disable tracing when the tracing subsystem was first created. Today, the ring buffer infrastructure has its own way to disable tracing. In fact, things have changed so much since 2008 that many things ignore the disable flag.
The ftrace_dump_one() function iterates over all the current tracing CPUs and increments the "disabled" counter before doing the dump, and decrements it afterward. As the disabled flag can be ignored, doing this today is not reliable. Instead use the new tracer_tracing_disable() that calls into the ring buffer code to do the disabling.
