+        default y

+          Feather-Trace basic tracing infrastructure. Includes device file
+          driver and instrumentation point support.
+
+          There are actually two implementations of Feather-Trace.
+          1) A slower, but portable, default implementation.
+          2) Architecture-specific implementations that rewrite kernel .text at runtime.
+
+          If enabled, Feather-Trace will be based on 2) if available (currently only for x86).
+          However, if DEBUG_RODATA=y, then Feather-Trace will choose option 1) in any case
+          to avoid problems with write-protected .text pages.
+
+          Bottom line: to avoid increased overheads, choose DEBUG_RODATA=n.
+
+          Note that this option only enables the basic Feather-Trace infrastructure;
+          you still need to enable SCHED_TASK_TRACE and/or SCHED_OVERHEAD_TRACE to
+          actually enable any events.
