[for-next-3.11][PATCH 07/12] tracing/kprobe: Wait for disabling all running kprobe handlers

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Jul 19 2013 - 10:16:44 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Wait for disabling all running kprobe handlers when a kprobe
event is disabled, since the caller, trace_remove_event_call()
supposes that a removing event is disabled completely by
disabling the event.
With this change, ftrace can ensure that there is no running
event handlers after disabling it.
