From: Steven Rostedt 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.
