help
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.
