From ed49f7fd6438dcc8c93fa7d1d7d815e47c7115dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Breno Leitao Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2017 17:14:06 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/xmon: Disable tracing when entering xmon If tracing is enabled and you get into xmon, the tracing buffer continues to be updated, causing possible loss of data and unnecessary tracing information coming from xmon functions. This patch simple disables tracing when entering xmon, and re-enables it if the kernel is resumed (with 'x'). Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Acked-by: Naveen N.
