Thanks Ingo.

I'm currently testing tip/master, since tracing/pipe is merged into.
It seems there are some locking issues that I hadn't when I tested the patches.
Perhaps it's because of the merge with the new ring buffer.

I just launched the sched_switch tracer and it worked well until 4
seconds of execution. And after that it blocked.
I tested too a marker message adding and it is never displayed. Worse:
I can't break the pipe with Ctrl + C after that.

When I will have some time, I will try to debug all what I find.
