+ Hist triggers allow one or more arbitrary trace event fields to be
+ aggregated into hash tables and dumped to stdout by reading a
+ debugfs/tracefs file. They're useful for gathering quick and dirty
+ (though precise) summaries of event activity as an initial guide for
+ further investigation using more advanced tools.

+ Inter-event tracing of quantities such as latencies is also
+ supported using hist triggers under this option.
