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

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.

35 depends on KALLSYMS && MODULES
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".

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.

103 The <linux/clk.h> calls support software clock gating and
104 thus are a key power management tool on many systems.
