	  ktap is a script-based dynamic tracing tool for Linux

	  It uses a scripting language and lets users trace the Linux kernel
	  dynamically. ktap is designed to give operational insights with
	  interoperability that allows users to tune, troubleshoot and extend
	  kernel and application. It's similar to Linux Systemtap and
	  Solaris Dtrace.

	  ktap doesn't support kernels older than 3.1.

	  To be able to resolve symbols in DSO and for sdt, you need to enable
	  elfutils.

	  Your kernel must have CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING,
	  CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS, and CONFIG_DEBUG_FS enabled to compile.

	  Buildroot automatically enables these in the kernel configuration.
