[Bagas Sanjaya]

From: Purva Yeshi <purvayeshi550@xxxxxxxxx>

Refactor table of contents of kernel tracing subsystem docs to improve
clarity, structure, and organization:

- Reformat sections and add appropriate headings
- Improve section grouping and refine descriptions for each group
- Add docs intro paragraph

Hi Steven,

I remove your Acked-by: since I massage the patch description. Would you mind
to re-add yours?

Thanks.

+Linux Tracing Technologies Guide
+================================
+
+Tracing in the Linux kernel is a powerful mechanism that allows
+developers and system administrators to analyze and debug system
+behavior. This guide provides documentation on various tracing
+frameworks and tools available in the Linux kernel.
+
+Introduction to Tracing
+-----------------------
+
+This section provides an overview of Linux tracing mechanisms
+and debugging approaches.

+
+Core Tracing Frameworks
+-----------------------
+
+The following are the primary tracing frameworks integrated into
+the Linux kernel.
