+Tracer Options
+--------------
+
+The osnoise/options file exposes a set of on/off configuration options for
+the osnoise tracer. These options are:
+
+ - DEFAULTS: reset the options to the default value.
+ - OSNOISE_WORKLOAD: do not dispatch osnoise workload (see dedicated
+   section below).
+ - PANIC_ON_STOP: call panic() if the tracer stops. This option serves to
+   capture a vmcore.
+ - OSNOISE_PREEMPT_DISABLE: disable preemption while running the osnoise
+   workload, allowing only IRQ and hardware-related noise.
+ - OSNOISE_IRQ_DISABLE: disable IRQs while running the osnoise workload,
+   allowing only NMIs and hardware-related noise, like hwlat tracer.
