Subject: tracing: Remove ftrace_stop/start() from reading the trace file
From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <[email protected]>
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.
