95 Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function. This is done
96 by using a compiler feature to insert a small, 5-byte No-Operation
97 instruction to the beginning of every kernel function, which NOP
98 sequence is then dynamically patched into a tracer call when
99 tracing is enabled by the administrator. If it's runtime disabled
100 (the bootup default), then the overhead of the instructions is very
101 small and not measurable even in micro-benchmarks.
