Subject[PATCH 0/2] [GIT PULL] tracing: A couple more regression fixes

Linus,

The clean up patch commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal
to tracing_on" caused two regressions.

1) The irqs off latency tracer no longer starts if tracing_on is off
when the tracer is set, and then tracing_on is enabled. The tracing_on
file needs the hook that tracing_enabled had to enable tracers if they
request it (call the tracer's start() method).

2) That commit had a separate change that really should have been a
separate patch, but it must have been added accidently with the -a
option of git commit. But as the change is still related to the commit
it wasn't noticed in review. That change, changed the way blocking is
done by the trace_pipe file with respect to the tracing_on settings.
I've been told that this change breaks current userspace, and this
specific change is being reverted.

Please pull trace-3.8-rc3-regression-fix, which can be found at:
