From 4bb0f0e73c8c30917d169c4a0f1ac083690c545b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2017 12:01:52 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Call clear_boot_tracer() at lateinit_sync The clear_boot_tracer function is used to reset the default_bootup_tracer string to prevent it from being accessed after boot, as it originally points to init data. But since clear_boot_tracer() is called via the init_lateinit() call, it races with the initcall for registering the hwlat tracer. If someone adds "ftrace=hwlat" to the kernel command line, depending on how the linker sets up the text, the saved command line may be cleared, and the hwlat tracer never is initialized. Simply have the clear_boot_tracer() be called by initcall_lateinit_sync() as that's for tasks to be called after lateinit.
