From d9e540762f5cdd89f24e518ad1fd31142d0b9726 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2008 19:57:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: ftrace_dump_on_oops=[tracer] Impact: add new (optional) debug boot option In order to facilitate early boot trouble, allow one to specify a tracer on the kernel boot line.
