From 7bcfaf54f591a0775254c4ea679faf615152ee3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2012 22:56:07 -0400 Subject: tracing: Add trace_options kernel command line parameter Add trace_options to the kernel command line parameter to be able to set options at early boot. For example, to enable stack dumps of events, add the following: trace_options=stacktrace This along with the trace_event option, you can get not only traces of the events but also the stack dumps with them.
