considered as noise, in us. When set to 0, the default value will
be used, which is currently 5 us.

The reason roots in the overhead of the entry and exit code that happens
before and after any interference execution. This justifies the dual

+By enabling the osnoise tracer with the NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD option set,
