+config KMEMTRACE
+ bool "Trace SLAB allocations"
+ select TRACING
+ help
+ 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/vm/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
+ impact is minimal (depending on the arch the kernel is built for).
+
+ If unsure, say N.

+ The workqueue tracer provides some statistical informations

+ to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform.
+ For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should
