From 5e01cb695d29619dd551bac7d6aa4ef1dc8ebc95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Metzger Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2009 13:55:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86, ftrace: fix section mismatch in hw-branch-tracer Fix an invalid memory reference problem when cpu hotplug support is disabled and the hw-branch-tracer is set as current tracer. Initializing the tracer calls bts_trace_init() which has already been freed at this time.
