14 whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
15 and applications.

24 Instruction-Based Sampling (IBS) is a new profiling
25 technique that provides rich, precise program performance
26 information. IBS is introduced by AMD Family10h processors
Jesper Dangaard Brouerba8b4532008-10-24 15:05:12 +020027 (AMD Opteron Quad-Core processor "Barcelona") to overcome
Robert Richter852402c2008-07-22 21:09:06 +020028 the limitations of conventional performance counter
29 sampling.

36 depends on OPROFILE && X86
37 help
38 The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing
39 feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters
40 are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching
41 between events at an user specified time interval.
42
43 If unsure, say N.

52 help
53 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
54 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
55 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
56 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
57 If in doubt, say "N".

62 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
63 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
64 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
65 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
66 handler.)
67
68 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
69 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
70 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
71 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
72 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
73 much.
74
75 See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
76 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
