From 1926ffb5ab3ce15e20445f52e6a44a9d9c2295c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hauke Mehrtens Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2020 18:49:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] build: Add IRQSOFF and PREEMPT TRACER kernel config option This adds the CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER and the CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER kernel configuration option to the OpenWrt menu. This can be used to debug latencies in the system. The CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER option needs the CONFIG_PREEMPT option which is supposed to be used for Low-Latency Desktop and not used by many targets in OpenWrt. The help text is copied from the Linux kernel Kconfig.
