    tracing: Do not start benchmark on boot up · 1dd349ab

    Trace events are enabled very early on boot up via the boot command line
    parameter. The benchmark tool creates a new thread to perform the trace
    event benchmarking. But at start up, it is called before scheduling is set
    up and because it creates a new thread before the init thread is created,
    this crashes the kernel.
    
    Have the benchmark fail to register when started via the kernel command
    line.
    
    Also, since the registering of a tracepoint now can handle failure cases,
    return -ENOMEM instead of warning if the thread cannot be created.
