Description Peter Müller 2020-06-09 18:59:21 UTC 
Similar to #12433 (disable CONFIG_UPROBES), there is no need for tracing every Kernel function on an IPFire machine, as we do not do Kernel development/debugging there. Although the runtime overhead is minimal if enabled, it seems to be obsolete to ship this.
Comment 1 Peter Müller 2022-12-29 11:30:28 UTC 
Since this is required for strace to work properly, we will never be able to disable it.
