[PATCH 5.10 707/717] tracing: Disable ftrace selftests when any tracer is running

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Dec 28 2020 - 09:37:11 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 60efe21e5976d3d4170a8190ca76a271d6419754 upstream.

Disable ftrace selftests when any tracer (kernel command line options
like ftrace=, trace_events=, kprobe_events=, and boot-time tracing)
starts running because selftest can disturb it.

Currently ftrace= and trace_events= are checked, but kprobe_events
has a different flag, and boot-time tracing didn't checked. This unifies
the disabled flag and all of those boot-time tracing features sets
the flag.

This also fixes warnings on kprobe-event selftest
(CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST=y and CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y) with boot-time
tracing (ftrace.event.kprobes.EVENT.probes) like below;
