12 OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
13 whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
14 and applications.

22 help
23 The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing
24 feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters
25 are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching
26 between events at an user specified time interval.

28 If unsure, say N.

38 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
39 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
40 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
41 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
42 If in doubt, say "N".

47 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
48 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
49 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
50 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
51 handler.)
52
53 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
54 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
55 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
56 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
57 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
58 much.

60 See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
61 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
