	select FRAME_POINTER
	select KALLSYMS
	select TRACING
	select CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER
	help
	  Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function. This is done
	  by using a compiler feature to insert a small, 5-byte No-Operation
	  instruction to the beginning of every kernel function, which NOP
	  sequence is then dynamically patched into a tracer call when
	  tracing is enabled by the administrator. If it's runtime disabled
	  (the bootup default), then the overhead of the instructions is very
	  small and not measurable even in micro-benchmarks.

config FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER

	depends on FUNCTION_TRACER
	default y
	help
	  Enable the kernel to trace a function at both its return
	  and its entry.
	  Its first purpose is to trace the duration of functions and
	  draw a call graph for each thread with some information like
	  the return value. This is done by setting the current return 
	  address on the current task structure into a stack of calls.

	help
	  This tracer hooks to various trace points in the kernel
	  allowing the user to pick and choose which trace point they

	  Basic tracer to catch the syscall entry and exit events.

config BOOT_TRACER
	bool "Trace boot initcalls"
	select TRACING
	select CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER
	help
	  This tracer helps developers to optimize boot times: it records
	  the timings of the initcalls and traces key events and the identity
	  of tasks that can cause boot delays, such as context-switches.

	  Its aim is to be parsed by the /scripts/bootgraph.pl tool to
	  produce pretty graphics about boot inefficiencies, giving a visual
	  representation of the delays during initcalls - but the raw
	  /debug/tracing/trace text output is readable too.

	  You must pass in ftrace=initcall to the kernel command line
	  to enable this on bootup.

config TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING

	select TRACING

choice
	prompt "Branch Profiling"
	default BRANCH_PROFILE_NONE
	help
	 The branch profiling is a software profiler. It will add hooks
	 into the C conditionals to test which path a branch takes.

	 The likely/unlikely profiler only looks at the conditions that
	 are annotated with a likely or unlikely macro.

	 The "all branch" profiler will profile every if statement in the
	 kernel. This profiler will also enable the likely/unlikely
	 profiler as well.

	 Either of the above profilers add a bit of overhead to the system.
	 If unsure choose "No branch profiling".

config BRANCH_PROFILE_NONE
	bool "No branch profiling"
	help
	 No branch profiling. Branch profiling adds a bit of overhead.
	 Only enable it if you want to analyse the branching behavior.
	 Otherwise keep it disabled.

config PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES
	bool "Trace likely/unlikely profiler"
	select TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING
	help
	  This tracer profiles all the the likely and unlikely macros
	  in the kernel. It will display the results in:

	  /debugfs/tracing/profile_annotated_branch

	  Note: this will add a significant overhead, only turn this
	  on if you need to profile the system's use of these macros.

config PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES
	bool "Profile all if conditionals"
	select TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING
	help
	  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:

	  /debugfs/tracing/profile_branch

	  This option also enables the likely/unlikely profiler.

	  This configuration, when enabled, will impose a great overhead
	  on the system. This should only be enabled when the system
	  is to be analyzed
endchoice

config TRACING_BRANCHES
	bool
	help
	  Selected by tracers that will trace the likely and unlikely
	  conditions. This prevents the tracers themselves from being
	  profiled. Profiling the tracing infrastructure can only happen
	  when the likelys and unlikelys are not being traced.

config BRANCH_TRACER
	bool "Trace likely/unlikely instances"
	depends on TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING
	select TRACING_BRANCHES
	help
	  This traces the events of likely and unlikely condition
	  calls in the kernel.  The difference between this and the
	  "Trace likely/unlikely profiler" is that this is not a
	  histogram of the callers, but actually places the calling
	  events into a running trace buffer to see when and where the
	  events happened, as well as their results.

	  Say N if unsure.

config POWER_TRACER
	bool "Trace power consumption behavior"
	depends on X86
	select TRACING
	help
	  This tracer helps developers to analyze and optimize the kernels
	  power management decisions, specifically the C-state and P-state
	  behavior.


config STACK_TRACER
	bool "Trace max stack"
	depends on HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER
	select FUNCTION_TRACER
	select STACKTRACE
	select KALLSYMS
	help
	  This special tracer records the maximum stack footprint of the
	  kernel and displays it in debugfs/tracing/stack_trace.

	  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'
	  on the kernel command line.

	  The stack tracer can also be enabled or disabled via the
	  sysctl kernel.stack_tracer_enabled

	  Say N if unsure.

config HW_BRANCH_TRACER
	depends on HAVE_HW_BRANCH_TRACER
	bool "Trace hw branches"
	select TRACING
	help
	  This tracer records all branches on the system in a circular
	  buffer giving access to the last N branches for each cpu.

config KMEMTRACE
	bool "Trace SLAB allocations"
	select TRACING
	help
	  kmemtrace provides tracing for slab allocator functions, such as
	  kmalloc, kfree, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_free etc.. Collected
	  data is then fed to the userspace application in order to analyse
	  allocation hotspots, internal fragmentation and so on, making it
	  possible to see how well an allocator performs, as well as debug
	  and profile kernel code.

	  This requires an userspace application to use. See
	  Documentation/trace/kmemtrace.txt for more information.

	  Saying Y will make the kernel somewhat larger and slower. However,
	  if you disable kmemtrace at run-time or boot-time, the performance
	  impact is minimal (depending on the arch the kernel is built for).

	  If unsure, say N.

config WORKQUEUE_TRACER
	bool "Trace workqueues"
	select TRACING
	help
	  The workqueue tracer provides some statistical informations
          about each cpu workqueue thread such as the number of the
          works inserted and executed since their creation. It can help
          to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform.
          For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should
          choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one.

config BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE
	bool "Support for tracing block io actions"
	depends on SYSFS
	depends on BLOCK
	select RELAY
	select DEBUG_FS
	select TRACEPOINTS
	select TRACING
	select STACKTRACE
	help
	  Say Y here if you want to be able to trace the block layer actions
	  on a given queue. Tracing allows you to see any traffic happening
	  on a block device queue. For more information (and the userspace
	  support tools needed), fetch the blktrace tools from:

	  git://git.kernel.dk/blktrace.git

	  Tracing also is possible using the ftrace interface, e.g.:

	    echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable
	    echo blk > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
	    cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe

	  If unsure, say N.

config DYNAMIC_FTRACE
	bool "enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically"
	depends on FUNCTION_TRACER
	depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
	default y
	help
         This option will modify all the calls to ftrace dynamically
	 (will patch them out of the binary image and replaces them
	 with a No-Op instruction) as they are called. A table is
	 created to dynamically enable them again.

	 This way a CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER kernel is slightly larger, but otherwise
	 has native performance as long as no tracing is active.

	 The changes to the code are done by a kernel thread that
	 wakes up once a second and checks to see if any ftrace calls
	 were made. If so, it runs stop_machine (stops all CPUS)
	 and modifies the code to jump over the call to ftrace.

config FUNCTION_PROFILER
	bool "Kernel function profiler"
	depends on FUNCTION_TRACER
	default n
	help
	 This option enables the kernel function profiler. A file is created
	 in debugfs called function_profile_enabled which defaults to zero.
	 When a 1 is echoed into this file profiling begins, and when a
	 zero is entered, profiling stops. A file in the trace_stats
	 directory called functions, that show the list of functions that
	 have been hit and their counters.

	 If in doubt, say N

	  tracers of ftrace.

config MMIOTRACE

	depends on HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT && PCI
	select TRACING
	help
	  Mmiotrace traces Memory Mapped I/O access and is meant for

	  implementation and works via page faults. Tracing is disabled by
	  default and can be enabled at run-time.

	  See Documentation/trace/mmiotrace.txt.
	  If you are not helping to develop drivers, 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 RING_BUFFER_BENCHMARK
	tristate "Ring buffer benchmark stress tester"
	depends on RING_BUFFER
	help
	  This option creates a test to stress the ring buffer and bench mark it.
	  It creates its own ring buffer such that it will not interfer 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
	  affected by processes that are running.

	  If unsure, say N
