+ Allow the use of tracepoints as software performance events.
+
+ When this is enabled, you can create perf events based on
+ tracepoints using PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT and the tracepoint ID
+ found in debugfs://tracing/events/*/*/id. (The -e/--events
+ option to the perf tool can parse and interpret symbolic
+ tracepoints, in the subsystem:tracepoint_name format.)

+ This config has been obsoleted by the PERF_EVENTS
+ config option - please see that one for details.
+
+ It has no effect on the kernel whether you enable
+ it or not, it is a compatibility placeholder.

+ Use vmalloc memory to back perf mmap() buffers.
+
+ Mostly useful for debugging the vmalloc code on platforms
