303 kmemtrace provides tracing for slab allocator functions, such as
304 kmalloc, kfree, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_free etc.. Collected
305 data is then fed to the userspace application in order to analyse
306 allocation hotspots, internal fragmentation and so on, making it
307 possible to see how well an allocator performs, as well as debug
308 and profile kernel code.
309
310 This requires an userspace application to use. See
311 Documentation/vm/kmemtrace.txt for more information.
312
313 Saying Y will make the kernel somewhat larger and slower. However,
314 if you disable kmemtrace at run-time or boot-time, the performance
