    ftrace: ftrace dump on oops control · 944ac425

    Impact: add (default-off) dump-trace-on-oops flag
    
    Currently, ftrace is set up to dump its contents to the console if the
    kernel panics or oops. This can be annoying if you have trace data in
    the buffers and you experience an oops, but the trace data is old or
    static.
    
    Usually when you want ftrace to dump its contents is when you are debugging
    your system and you have set up ftrace to trace the events leading to
    an oops.
    
    This patch adds a control variable called "ftrace_dump_on_oops" that will
    enable the ftrace dump to console on oops. This variable is default off
    but a developer can enable it either through the kernel command line
    by adding "ftrace_dump_on_oops" or at run time by setting (or disabling)
    /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops.
    
    v2:
    
       Replaced /** with /* as Randy explained that kernel-doc does
        not yet handle variables.
