	  This tracer records the max stack of the kernel, and displays
	  it in debugfs/tracing/stack_trace
	  This special tracer records the maximum stack footprint of the
	  kernel and displays it in debugfs/tracing/stack_trace.

	  This tracer works by hooking into every function call that the
	  kernel executes, and keeping a maximum stack depth value and
	  stack-trace saved. Because this logic has to execute in every
	  kernel function, all the time, this option can slow down the
	  kernel measurably and is generally intended for kernel
	  developers only.

	  Say N if unsure.
