help
This tracer records the max stack of the kernel, and displays
it in debugfs/tracing/stack_trace
This special tracer records the maximum stack footprint of the
kernel and displays it in debugfs/tracing/stack_trace.
This tracer works by hooking into every function call that the
kernel executes, and keeping a maximum stack depth value and
stack-trace saved. Because this logic has to execute in every
kernel function, all the time, this option can slow down the
kernel measurably and is generally intended for kernel
developers only.
Say N if unsure.
