From c0729be99cb2b9d9749256254f1c40a801835896 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 22:23:52 -0400 Subject: tracing: remove legacy select of MARKERS by context switch tracing The context switch tracer was made before tracepoints were mature, and the original version used markers. This is no longer true and this patch removes the select.

Only the irqsoff and preemptoff tracers use this feature, and both are not recommended for production kernels. This patch disables its use when neither irqsoff nor preemptoff is configured.
