I have to go and revisit the config options for CONFIG_FTRACE and CONFIG_TRACING, as they were added when this all started (back in 2008), and the naming was rather all misnomers back then. "ftrace" is really for just the function tracing, but CONFIG_FTRACE really should just be for the function tracing infrastructure, and perhaps not even include trace events :-/ But at the time it was created, it was for all the "tracers" (this was added before trace events). -- Steve
