+menuconfig LTT
+	bool "Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation (LTTng)"
+	depends on EXPERIMENTAL
+	select MARKERS
+	select TRACEPOINTS
+	default y
+	help
+	  It is possible for the kernel to log important events to a trace
+	  facility. Doing so enables the use of the generated traces in order
+	  to reconstruct the dynamic behavior of the kernel, and hence the
+	  whole system.
+
+	  The tracing process contains 4 parts :
+	      1) The logging of events by key parts of the kernel.
+	      2) The tracer that keeps the events in a data buffer (uses
+	         relay).
+	      3) A trace daemon that interacts with the tracer and is
+	         notified every time there is a certain quantity of data to
+	         read from the tracer.
+	      4) A trace event data decoder that reads the accumulated data
+	         and formats it in a human-readable format.
+
+	  If you say Y, the first component will be built into the kernel.
+
+	  For more information on kernel tracing, lttctl, lttd or lttv,
+	  please check the following address :

+	  Add checks for random access to LTTng relay buffers. Given those
+	  buffers are a linked list, such access are rather slow. Rare accesses
+	  are OK; they can be caused by large writes (more than a page large) or
+	  by reentrancy (e.g. interrupt nesting over the tracing code).

+	default y
+	help
+	  If you enable this option, the Linux Trace Toolkit Tracer will be
+	  either built in the kernel or as module.
+
+	  Critical parts of the kernel will call upon the kernel tracing
+	  function. The data is then recorded by the tracer if a trace daemon
+	  is running in user-space and has issued a "start" command.

+	  This option enables dynamic alignment of data in buffers. The
+	  alignment is made on the smallest size between architecture size
+	  and the size of the value to be written.
+
+	  Dynamically calculating the offset of the data has a performance cost,
+	  but it is more efficient on some architectures (especially 64 bits) to
+	  align data than to write it unaligned.
