help
Allow the use of tracepoints as software performance counters.
When this is enabled, you can create perf counters based on
tracepoints using PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT and the tracepoint ID
found in debugfs://tracing/events/*/*/id. (The -e/--events
option to the perf tool can parse and interpret symbolic
tracepoints, in the subsystem:tracepoint_name format.)
