    ftrace: add traceon traceoff commands to enable/disable the buffers · 23b4ff3a
    Steven Rostedt authored
    This patch adds the new function selection commands traceon and
    traceoff. traceon sets the function to enable the ring buffers
    while traceoff disables the ring buffers.  You can pass in the
    number of times you want the command to be executed when the function
    is hit. It will only execute if the state of the buffers are not
    already in that state.
    
    Example:
    
     # echo do_fork:traceon:4
    
    Will enable the ring buffers if they are disabled every time it
    hits do_fork, up to 4 times.
    
     # echo sys_close:traceoff
    
    This will disable the ring buffers every time (unlimited) when
    sys_close is called.
