Merge tag 'trace-3.8-rc3-regression-fix' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing regression fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"The clean up patch commit 0fb9656d957d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled
be equal to tracing_on" caused two regressions.
1) The irqs off latency tracer no longer starts if tracing_on is off
when the tracer is set, and then tracing_on is enabled. The
tracing_on file needs the hook that tracing_enabled had to enable
tracers if they request it (call the tracer's start() method).
2) That commit had a separate change that really should have been a
separate patch, but it must have been added accidently with the -a
option of git commit. But as the change is still related to the
commit it wasn't noticed in review. That change, changed the way
blocking is done by the trace_pipe file with respect to the
tracing_on settings. I've been told that this change breaks
current userspace, and this specific change is being reverted."
