In linux kernel since version 2.6.27 (release Date: 2008-10-09)
This option measures the time spent in irqs-off critical
sections, with microsecond accuracy.
The default measurement method is a maximum search, which is
disabled by default and can be runtime (re-)started
via:
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_max_latency
(Note that kernel size and overhead increase with this option
enabled. This option and the preempt-off timing option can be
used together or separately.)
