91          Allow the use of ring_buffer_swap_cpu.
92          Adds a very slight overhead to tracing when enabled.

94 # All tracer options should select GENERIC_TRACER. For those options that are
95 # enabled by all tracers (context switch and event tracer) they select TRACING.
96 # This allows those options to appear when no other tracer is selected. But the
97 # options do not appear when something else selects it. We need the two options
98 # GENERIC_TRACER and TRACING to avoid circular dependencies to accomplish the
99 # hiding of the automatic options.
