This special tracer records the maximum stack footprint of the

stack-trace saved. If this is configured with DYNAMIC_FTRACE

kmemtrace provides tracing for slab allocator functions, such as

kmalloc, kfree, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_free etc.. Collected
|

data is then fed to the userspace application in order to analyse
|

allocation hotspots, internal fragmentation and so on, making it
|
|
possible to see how well an allocator performs, as well as debug
|
|
and profile kernel code.

This requires an userspace application to use. See
|
|
Documentation/trace/kmemtrace.txt for more information.
|

Saying Y will make the kernel somewhat larger and slower. However,

if you disable kmemtrace at run-time or boot-time, the performance
