Subject[PATCH 3.11 171/233] tracing: Check if tracing is enabled in trace_puts()
Date
3.11.10.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

commit 3132e107d608f8753240d82d61303c500fd515b4 upstream.

If trace_puts() is used very early in boot up, it can crash the machine
if it is called before the ring buffer is allocated. If a trace_printk()
is used with no arguments, then it will be converted into a trace_puts()
and suffer the same fate.

Fixes: 09ae72348ecc "tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracing"
