Re: [RFA][PATCH 07/27] MIPS: ftrace: Add call to ftrace_graph_is_dead() in function graph code

Hi Steven,

I've given this a quick test on a mips32 le target, on your
rfc/remove-function-trace-stop branch (4161daee7df8). Booted fine,
startup tests fine, function and function_graph trace appear to work
from a quick cat of the trace file. Feel free to add my Tested-by:

Cheers
James
