[PATCH] ftrace: open tracer when ftrace_dump_on_oops is used

From: Cody P Schafer
Date: Wed Oct 23 2013 - 14:49:58 EST


With ftrace_dump_on_oops, we previously did not open the tracer in
question, sometimes causing the trace output to be useless.

For example, the function_graph tracer with tracing_thresh set dumped via ftrace_dump_on_oops
would show a series of '}' indented at different levels, but no function
names.

call trace->open() (and do a few other fixups copied from the normal dump
path) to make the output more intelligible.
