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 : http://ltt.polymtl.ca
