tracing: Fix regression with irqsoff tracer and tracing_on file
Commit 02404baf1b47 "tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file" removed the tracing_enabled file as it never worked properly and the tracing_on file should be used instead. But the tracing_on file didn't call into the tracers start/stop routines like the tracing_enabled file did. This caused trace-cmd to break when it enabled the irqsoff tracer. If you just did "echo irqsoff > current_tracer" then it would work properly. But the tool trace-cmd disables tracing first by writing "0" into the tracing_on file. Then it writes "irqsoff" into current_tracer and then writes "1" into tracing_on. Unfortunately, the above commit changed the irqsoff tracer to check the tracing_on status instead of the tracing_enabled status. If it's disabled then it does not start the tracer internals. The problem is that writing "1" into tracing_on does not call the tracers "start" routine like writing "1" into tracing_enabled did. This makes the irqsoff tracer not start when using the trace-cmd tool, and is a regression for userspace. Simple fix is to have the tracing_on file call the tracers start() method when being enabled (and the stop() method when disabled). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
