254	 spinning in a loop looking for interruptions caused by
255	 something other than the kernel. For example, if a
256	 System Management Interrupt (SMI) takes a noticeable amount of
257	 time, this tracer will detect it. This is useful for testing
258	 if a system is reliable for Real Time tasks.

264	   hwlat_detector/window  - time in usecs between the start of each
265				     iteration
266

268	 for "width" microseconds in every "window" cycle. It will not spin
269	 for "window - width" microseconds, where the system can
270	 continue to operate.

323
324	  When this is enabled, this adds a little more overhead to the

676config TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK
677        bool "Add tracepoint that benchmarks tracepoints"
678	help
679	 This option creates the tracepoint "benchmark:benchmark_event".
680	 When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
681	 goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
682	 run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
683	 it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
684	 data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
685	 will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
686	 The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
687	 to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
688	 "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
689	 write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
690
691	 As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
692	 we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.
693
694	 An example of the output:
695

711	  It creates its own ring buffer such that it will not interfere with
712	  any other users of the ring buffer (such as ftrace). It then creates
713	  a producer and consumer that will run for 10 seconds and sleep for
714	  10 seconds. Each interval it will print out the number of events
715	  it recorded and give a rough estimate of how long each iteration took.

726         Run a simple self test on the ring buffer on boot up. Late in the
727	 kernel boot sequence, the test will start that kicks off
728	 a thread per cpu. Each thread will write various size events
729	 into the ring buffer. Another thread is created to send IPIs
730	 to each of the threads, where the IPI handler will also write
731	 to the ring buffer, to test/stress the nesting ability.
732	 If any anomalies are discovered, a warning will be displayed
733	 and all ring buffers will be disabled.
734
735	 The test runs for 10 seconds. This will slow your boot time
736	 by at least 10 more seconds.
737
738	 At the end of the test, statics and more checks are done.

760config TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE

762       depends on TRACING
763       help
764	The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum/sizeof names
765	instead	of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools
766	that use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
767	how to convert the string to its value.
768
769	To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
770	to convert an enum/sizeof into its value. If this macro is used, then
771	the print fmt strings will be converted to their values.
772
773	If something does not get converted properly, this option can be
774	used to show what enums/sizeof the kernel tried to convert.
775
776	This option is for debugging the conversions. A file is created
777	in the tracing directory called "eval_map" that will show the
778	names matched with their values and what trace event system they
779	belong too.
780
781	Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after
782	boot up or module load. With this option, they will not be freed, as
783	they are needed for the "eval_map" file. Enabling this option will
784	increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.
