Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2015 09:11:18 +0800 From: Jiaxing Wang <hello.wjx@...il.com> To: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Jiaxing Wang <hello.wjx@...il.com> Subject: [PATCH RESEND] tracing: Make tracing work when debugfs is not compiled or initialized. Currently tracing_init_dentry() returns -ENODEV when debugfs is not initialized, which causes tracefs not populated with tracing files and directories, so we will get an empty directory even after we manually mount tracefs. We can make tracing_init_dentry() return NULL as long as tracefs is initialized and get a populated tracefs. We also need to make global_trace.dir not NULL in order to pass the checks in tracing_get_dentry() and add_tracer_options(). Also added stub debugfs_create_automount() for when debugfs is not configured in.
