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

21 depends on OPROFILE && X86
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.
27
28 If unsure, say N.

37 help
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".

Johannes Berg58340a02008-07-25 01:45:33 -070057 help
58 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
59 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
60 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
61 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
62 handler.)
63
64 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
65 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
66 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
67 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
68 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
69 much.
70
71 See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
72 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
