      ftrace: fix current_tracer error return · 60063a66
      Steven Rostedt authored
      The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05
       ( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer )
      added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into
      the current_tracer file.
      
      But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by
      that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since
      it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the
      userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This
      second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny
      thing is that the tracer would have already been set.
      
      This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

      tracing: fix a build error on alpha · 21798a84
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: build fix on Alpha
      
      When tracing is enabled, some arch have included <linux/irqflags.h>
      on their <asm/system.h> but others like alpha or m68k don't.
      
      Build error on alpha:
      
      kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'tracing_cpumask_write':
      kernel/trace/trace.c:2145: error: implicit declaration of function 'raw_local_irq_disable'
      kernel/trace/trace.c:2162: error: implicit declaration of function 'raw_local_irq_enable'
      
      Tested on Alpha through a cross-compiler (should correct a similar issue on m68k).
