Interestingly, that option is not even there in .config.
Must be someting that "make oldconfig" messed up along
the way, as making a new .config with all default values
does have it commented out as "not set".
After a bit of poking around, I found it and its pre-requisites
net/Kconfig, where it says it depends on INET && TRACEPOINTS.
After a bit more poking I finally found TRACEPOINTS on init/Kconfig,
depending on nothing. But it does not get displayed as selectable
in "make menuconfig". As far as I can tell, it is not constrained
and should show up?
So I really have no clue how to turn this on...

There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it
so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to
make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first
method is far more difficult. --Tony Hoare
