Hi Huang,
What kind of problem we run into if we don't disable the ftracer?
I think there are too many #ifdefs now and probably we can at least
get rid if #ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE thing.
I think ftracer needs to export the function to enable the tracer
back (tracer_enable()) so that we don't directly play with ftrace_enabled
variable. tracer_enable() can be do {} while{0} in case of CONFIG_FTRACE=n
so that we can get rid of #ifdefs here.
Thanks
Vivek
