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.

43 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
44 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
45 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
46 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

50 bool "Optimize trace point call sites"
51 depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
52 help
53 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
54 the kernel will compile trace point locations with just a
55 nop instruction. When trace points are enabled, the nop will
56 be converted to a jump to the trace function. This technique
57 lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction of the
58 processor.
59
60 On i386, options added to the compiler flags may increase
61 the size of the kernel slightly.

71 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
72 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
73 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
74 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
75 handler.)
76
77 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
78 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
79 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
80 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
81 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
82 much.
83
84 See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
85 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
