Subject[PATCH 6/7] perf: Don't print traces when debugging ordering
Date
Errors due to ordering bugs are easily lost in the middle
of traces.

When we are in this mode, don't print the traces so that
we don't miss the debugging messages.
But display a comforting message if we didn't encounter any
ordering problem.
