Subject: [PATCH 1/5] tracing: Fix initialization failure path in tracing_set_tracer()
Date: Sat, 26 May 2012 06:39:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1338039549-24498-1-git-send-email-anton.vorontsov@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120526133412.GA18001@lizard>

If tracer->init() fails, current code will leave current_tracer pointing
to an unusable tracer, which at best makes 'current_tracer' report
inaccurate value.

Fix the issue by pointing current_tracer to nop tracer, and only update
current_tracer with the new one after all the initialization succeeds.
