Add option to turn on/off method enter/exit capability #65

Closed mpirvu closed 3 years ago

mpirvu commented 3 years ago

Since method enter/exit tracing capability can interfere with the JIT compiler optimizer, it's better to turn off this capability by default, but allow the user to turn it on, if she wants to use it. This commit adds a new option for the agent called: methodEnterCapability with two possible values "on" or "off". The default is "off". Note that enabling method enter/exit tracing capability does not enable tracing itself. Starting/stopping the tracing needs to be done with json commands like with any other tracing.

Fixes: #57
