	  This tracer works by hooking into every function call that the
	  kernel executes, and keeping a maximum stack depth value and
	  stack-trace saved.  If this is configured with DYNAMIC_FTRACE
	  then it will not have any overhead while the stack tracer
	  is disabled.

	  To enable the stack tracer on bootup, pass in 'stacktrace'

config HWLAT_TRACER
	bool "Tracer to detect hardware latencies (like SMIs)"
	select GENERIC_TRACER
	help
	 This tracer, when enabled will create one or more kernel threads,
	 depending on what the cpumask file is set to, which each thread
	 spinning in a loop looking for interruptions caused by
	 something other than the kernel. For example, if a
	 System Management Interrupt (SMI) takes a noticeable amount of
	 time, this tracer will detect it. This is useful for testing
	 if a system is reliable for Real Time tasks.

	 Some files are created in the tracing directory when this
	 is enabled:

	   hwlat_detector/width   - time in usecs for how long to spin for
	   hwlat_detector/window  - time in usecs between the start of each
				     iteration

	 A kernel thread is created that will spin with interrupts disabled
	 for "width" microseconds in every "window" cycle. It will not spin
	 for "window - width" microseconds, where the system can
	 continue to operate.

	 The output will appear in the trace and trace_pipe files.

	 When the tracer is not running, it has no affect on the system,
	 but when it is running, it can cause the system to be
	 periodically non responsive. Do not run this tracer on a
	 production system.

	 To enable this tracer, echo in "hwlat" into the current_tracer
	 file. Every time a latency is greater than tracing_thresh, it will
	 be recorded into the ring buffer.

config TRACER_SNAPSHOT

	  allowed:

	      echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu2/snapshot

	  After which, only the tracing buffer for CPU 2 was swapped with
	  the main tracing buffer, and the other CPU buffers remain the same.

	  When this is enabled, this adds a little more overhead to the
	  trace recording, as it needs to add some checks to synchronize
	  recording with swaps. But this does not affect the performance
	  of the overall system. This is enabled by default when the preempt
	  or irq latency tracers are enabled, as those need to swap as well
	  and already adds the overhead (plus a lot more).

	  This tracer profiles all branch conditions. Every if ()
	  taken in the kernel is recorded whether it hit or miss.
	  The results will be displayed in:

	  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/branch_all

	  This option also enables the likely/unlikely profiler.

	  This configuration, when enabled, will impose a great overhead

	  If kprobes can use ftrace instead of breakpoint, ftrace related
	  functions are protected from kprobe-events to prevent an infinite
	  recursion or any unexpected execution path which leads to a kernel

config TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK
	bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
	help
	 This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
	 When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
	 goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
	 run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
	 it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
	 data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
	 will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
	 The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
	 to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
	 "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
	 write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.

	 As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
	 we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.

	 An example of the output:

	      START
	      first=3672 [COLD CACHED]
	      last=632 first=3672 max=632 min=632 avg=316 std=446 std^2=199712

	  This option creates a test to stress the ring buffer and benchmark it.
	  It creates its own ring buffer such that it will not interfere with
	  any other users of the ring buffer (such as ftrace). It then creates
	  a producer and consumer that will run for 10 seconds and sleep for
	  10 seconds. Each interval it will print out the number of events
	  it recorded and give a rough estimate of how long each iteration took.

	  It does not disable interrupts or raise its priority, so it may be

config TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE
       bool "Show eval mappings for trace events"
       depends on TRACING
       help
	The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum/sizeof names
	instead of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools
	that use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
	how to convert the string to its value.

	To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
	to convert an enum/sizeof into its value. If this macro is used, then
	the print fmt strings will be converted to their values.

	If something does not get converted properly, this option can be
	used to show what enums/sizeof the kernel tried to convert.

	This option is for debugging the conversions. A file is created
	in the tracing directory called "eval_map" that will show the
	names matched with their values and what trace event system they
	belong too.

	Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after
	boot up or module load. With this option, they will not be freed, as
	they are needed for the "eval_map" file. Enabling this option will
	increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.

	  file.

	  This will add more overhead to cases that have recursion.

config GCOV_PROFILE_FTRACE
	bool "Enable GCOV profiling on ftrace subsystem"
	depends on GCOV_KERNEL
	help
	  Enable GCOV profiling on ftrace subsystem for checking
	  which functions/lines are tested.

	  If unsure, say N.

	  Note that on a kernel compiled with this config, ftrace will
	  run significantly slower.

config FTRACE_SELFTEST
	bool

config FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST
	bool "Perform a startup test on ftrace"
	depends on GENERIC_TRACER
	select FTRACE_SELFTEST
	help
	  This option performs a series of startup tests on ftrace. On bootup
	  a series of tests are made to verify that the tracer is
	  functioning properly. It will do tests on all the configured
	  tracers of ftrace.

config EVENT_TRACE_STARTUP_TEST
	bool "Run selftest on trace events"
	depends on FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST
	default y
	help
	  This option performs a test on all trace events in the system.
	  It basically just enables each event and runs some code that
	  will trigger events (not necessarily the event it enables)
	  This may take some time run as there are a lot of events.

config EVENT_TRACE_TEST_SYSCALLS
	bool "Run selftest on syscall events"
	depends on EVENT_TRACE_STARTUP_TEST
	help
	 This option will also enable testing every syscall event.
	 It only enables the event and disables it and runs various loads
	 with the event enabled. This adds a bit more time for kernel boot
	 up since it runs this on every system call defined.

	 TBD - enable a way to actually call the syscalls as we test their
	       events

config RING_BUFFER_STARTUP_TEST
       bool "Ring buffer startup self test"
       depends on RING_BUFFER
       help
	 Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the
	 kernel boot sequence, the test will start that kicks off
	 a thread per cpu. Each thread will write various size events
	 into the ring buffer. Another thread is created to send IPIs
	 to each of the threads, where the IPI handler will also write
	 to the ring buffer, to test/stress the nesting ability.
	 If any anomalies are discovered, a warning will be displayed
	 and all ring buffers will be disabled.

	 The test runs for 10 seconds. This will slow your boot time
	 by at least 10 more seconds.

	 At the end of the test, statics and more checks are done.
	 It will output the stats of each per cpu buffer. What
	 was written, the sizes, what was read, what was lost, and
	 other similar details.

	 If unsure, say N

config RING_BUFFER_VALIDATE_TIME_DELTAS
	bool "Verify ring buffer time stamp deltas"
	depends on RING_BUFFER
	help
	  This will audit the time stamps on the ring buffer sub
	  buffer to make sure that all the time deltas for the
	  events on a sub buffer matches the current time stamp.
	  This audit is performed for every event that is not
	  interrupted, or interrupting another event. A check
	  is also made when traversing sub buffers to make sure
	  that all the deltas on the previous sub buffer do not
	  add up to be greater than the current time stamp.

	  NOTE: This adds significant overhead to recording of events,
	  and should only be used to test the logic of the ring buffer.
	  Do not use it on production systems.

	  Only say Y if you understand what this does, and you
	  still want it enabled. Otherwise say N

config MMIOTRACE_TEST
	tristate "Test module for mmiotrace"
	depends on MMIOTRACE && m
	help
	  This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
	  as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
	  However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.

	  Say N, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

config PREEMPTIRQ_DELAY_TEST
	tristate "Test module to create a preempt / IRQ disable delay thread to test latency tracers"
	depends on m
	help
	  Select this option to build a test module that can help test latency
	  tracers by executing a preempt or irq disable section with a user
	  configurable delay. The module busy waits for the duration of the
	  critical section.

	  For example, the following invocation generates a burst of three
	  irq-disabled critical sections for 500us:
	  modprobe preemptirq_delay_test test_mode=irq delay=500 burst_size=3

	  What's more, if you want to attach the test on the cpu which the latency
	  tracer is running on, specify cpu_affinity=cpu_num at the end of the
	  command.

	  If unsure, say N

config SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST
	tristate "Test module for in-kernel synthetic event generation"
	depends on SYNTH_EVENTS
	help
          This option creates a test module to check the base
          functionality of in-kernel synthetic event definition and
          generation.

          To test, insert the module, and then check the trace buffer
	  for the generated sample events.

	  If unsure, say N.

config KPROBE_EVENT_GEN_TEST
	tristate "Test module for in-kernel kprobe event generation"
	depends on KPROBE_EVENTS
	help
          This option creates a test module to check the base
          functionality of in-kernel kprobe event definition.

          To test, insert the module, and then check the trace buffer
	  for the generated kprobe events.

	  If unsure, say N.

config HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG
	bool "Hist trigger debug support"
	depends on HIST_TRIGGERS
	help
          Add "hist_debug" file for each event, which when read will
          dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers
          defined on that event.

          The hist_debug file serves a couple of purposes:

            - Helps developers verify that nothing is broken.

            - Provides educational information to support the details
              of the hist trigger internals as described by
              Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst.

          The hist_debug output only covers the data structures
          related to the histogram definitions themselves and doesn't
          display the internals of map buckets or variable values of
          running histograms.

          If unsure, say N.
