From 71485c45891b8a0fcc4ce22d87251424ab51e096 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:10:04 -0500 Subject: tracing: Fix formatting of trace README file Fix the formatting of the README file in the trace debugfs to fit in an 80 character window. Also add a comment about the event trigger counter with regards to traceon and traceoff.
