+### LTTng specific kernel config options
+
+The following kernel configuration options are provided by LTTng:
+
+  - `CONFIG_LTTNG`: Build LTTng (Defaults to 'm').
+  - `CONFIG_LTTNG_EXPERIMENTAL_BITWISE_ENUM`: Enable the experimental bitwise
+    enumerations (Defaults to 'n'). This can be enabled by building with:
+

+    module for testing.

+Customization/Extension
+-----------------------
+
+The lttng-modules source includes definitions for the actual callback
+functions that will be attached to the kernel tracepoints by lttng.
+The lttng-modules project implements its own macros generating these
+callbacks: the LTTNG_TRACEPOINT_EVENT macro family found in
+instrumentation/events/lttng-module/. In order to show up in a
+lttng-modules trace, a kernel tracepoint must be defined within the
+kernel tree, and also defined within lttng-modules with the
+LTTNG_TRACEPOINT_EVENT macro family. Customizations or extensions must
+be done by modifying instances of these macros within the lttng-modules
+source.
