From c3b6343c0dc4a76f838e25391f6f1cdb25cfbb8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@kernel.org> Date: Sun, 31 Oct 2021 19:04:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/osnoise: Improve comments about barrier need for NMI callbacks trace_osnoise_callback_enabled is used by ftrace_nmi_enter/exit() to know when to call the NMI callback. The barrier is used to avoid having callbacks enabled before the resetting date during the start or to touch the values after stopping the tracer.
