Imported linux-2.6.27.39 suse/xen patches.

[people/teissler/ipfire-2.x.git] / src / patches / suse-2.6.27.39 / patches.trace / tracepoints-tracepoint-synchronize-unregister.patch

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>
Subject: Tracepoints : tracepoint_synchronize_unregister()

Create tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() which must be called before the end
of exit() to make sure every probe callers have exited the non preemptible
section and thus are not executing the probe code anymore.
