    tracing: Skip selftests if tracing is disabled · ee666a18
    Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
    If tracing is disabled for some reason (traceoff_on_warning, command line,
    etc), the ftrace selftests are guaranteed to fail, as their results are
    defined by trace data in the ring buffers. If the ring buffers are turned
    off, the tests will fail, due to lack of data.
    
    Because tracing being disabled is for a specific reason (warning, user
    decided to, etc), it does not make sense to enable tracing to run the self
    tests, as the test output may corrupt the reason for the tracing to be
    disabled.
    
    Instead, simply skip the self tests and report that they are being skipped
    due to tracing being disabled.
