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. | |

36 | depends on HAVE_KPROBES | |
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". | |

9ba16087 | 45 | bool |
58340a07 JB |
46 | help |
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. | |
59 | ||
60 | See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more | |
61 | information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses. | |
