From 6ab5d668b131d3c5416f6df1d3ca95b82d4fe8a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2009 00:55:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/function-profiler: do not free per cpu variable stat The per cpu variable stat is freeded if we fail to allocate a name on start up. This was due to stat at first being allocated in the initial design. But since then, it has become a static per cpu variable but the free on error was not removed. Also added __init annotation to the function that this is in.
