Subject: ftrace: only have ftrace_kill atomic
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28-rc3~86^2~16
X-Git-Url: http://www.pilppa.org/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=81adbdc029ecc416d56563e7f159100181dd711d;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

ftrace: only have ftrace_kill atomic

When an anomaly is detected, we need a way to completely disable
ftrace. Right now we have two functions: ftrace_kill and ftrace_kill_atomic.
The ftrace_kill tries to do it in a "nice" way by converting everything
back to a nop.

The "nice" way is dangerous itself, so this patch removes it and only
has the "atomic" version, which is all that is needed.
