	 This tracer, when enabled will create one or more kernel threads,

	 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 "widow" 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.

	 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 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

         Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the

config TRACE_ENUM_MAP_FILE
       bool "Show enum mappings for trace events"
       depends on TRACING
       help
        The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum 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 the enum into its value. If this macro is used, then the
	print fmt strings will have the enums converted to their values.

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

	This option is for debugging the enum conversions. A file is created
	in the tracing directory called "enum_map" that will show the enum
	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 "enum_map" file. Enabling this option will
	increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.
