| 20 | help |
| 21 | Instruction-Based Sampling (IBS) is a new profiling |
| 22 | technique that provides rich, precise program performance |
| 23 | information. IBS is introduced by AMD Family10h processors |
| 24 | (AMD Opteron Quad-Core processor "Barcelona") to overcome |
| 25 | the limitations of conventional performance counter |
| 26 | sampling. |

| 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". |

| 44 | config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS |
| 45 | bool |
| 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. |
