It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). When stopping a tracer in an instance would not disable the snapshot buffer. This could have some unintended consequences if the irqsoff tracer is enabled. Consolidate the tracing_start/stop() with tracing_start/stop_tr() so that all instances behave the same. The tracing_start/stop() functions will just call their respective tracing_start/stop_tr() with the global_array passed in.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
