tracing: rename EVENT_TRACER config to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING
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. [ Impact: rename config option to reduce confusion ] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
