From b2ad368bebc0f772613668e893fa176396e9094c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Vorontsov Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2012 17:10:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix initialization failure path in tracing_set_tracer() If tracer->init() fails, current code will leave current_tracer pointing to an unusable tracer, which at best makes 'current_tracer' report inaccurate value. Fix the issue by pointing current_tracer to nop tracer, and only update current_tracer with the new one after all the initialization succeeds.
