Re: [RFA][PATCH 18/27] sparc64,ftrace: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop

David,

Do you have any problem with this patch going through my tree? It
compiles, but I do not have any hardware to test it. If you can verify
that this patch works and ack it, it would be much appreciated.

This code is at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace.git

branch: rfc/remove-function-trace-stop

Thanks!
