From a7abe97fd8e7a6ccabba5a04a9f17be9211d418c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2009 10:59:34 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: rename EVENT_TRACER config to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING Currently we have two configs: EVENT_TRACING and EVENT_TRACER. All tracers enable EVENT_TRACING. The EVENT_TRACER is only a convenience to enable the EVENT_TRACING when no other tracers are enabled. The names EVENT_TRACER and EVENT_TRACING are too similar and confusing. This patch renames EVENT_TRACER to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING to be more appropriate to what it actually does, as well as add a comment in the help menu to explain the option's purpose.
