From: Steven Rostedt Peter Zijlstra started the functionality to start up a default tracing at bootup. This patch finishes the work. Now if you add 'ftrace=' to the command line, when that tracer is registered on bootup, that tracer is selected and starts tracing. Note, all selftests for tracers that are registered after this tracer is disabled. This prevents the selftests from disturbing the running tracer, or the running tracer from disturbing the selftest.
