+	  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

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