[PATCH 1/3] tracing/function: Avoid perf_trace_buf_*() ifevent_function.perf_events is empty

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Mon Jun 17 2013 - 13:06:32 EST


perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit(head, task => NULL)
make no sense if hlist_empty(head). Change perf_ftrace_function_call()
to check event_function.perf_events beforehand.
