#67432 — Bug#964036: linux: Please set CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER=y

Source: linux
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Setting CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER=y enables a tracer to detect hardware latencies
with no overhead when not used. It is not designed to be run on a production
system, but is a useful tracer to use in embedded systems.

Other distros enable this configuration option, I see no security issues or
performance issues for users since this is by-default turned off so has to be
enabled at runtime.

Thanks,
Chris
