From 22cffc2bb4a50d8c56f03c56f9f19dea85b78e30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 07:30:24 -0500 Subject: tracing: Enable snapshot when any latency tracer is enabled The snapshot utility is extremely useful, and does not add any more overhead in memory when another latency tracer is enabled. They use the snapshot underneath. There's no reason to hide the snapshot file when a latency tracer has been enabled in the kernel. If any of the latency tracers (irq, preempt or wakeup) is enabled then also select the snapshot facility. Note, snapshot can be enabled without the latency tracers enabled.
