From 19384c0314342222b18d4c7f09cdce1ca74dfd2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 22 May 2008 00:22:16 -0400 Subject: ftrace: limit use of check pages The check_pages function is called often enough that it can cause problems with trace outputs or even bringing the system to a halt. This patch limits the check_pages to the places that are most likely to have problems. The check is made at the flip between the global array and the max save array, as well as when the size of the buffers changes and the self tests. This patch also removes the BUG_ON from check_pages and replaces it with a WARN_ON and disabling of the tracer.
