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

22 | help | |
23 | Instruction-Based Sampling (IBS) is a new profiling | |
24 | technique that provides rich, precise program performance | |
25 | information. IBS is introduced by AMD Family10h processors | |
ba8b453d | 26 | (AMD Opteron Quad-Core processor "Barcelona") to overcome |
852402cc RR |
27 | the limitations of conventional performance counter |
28 | sampling. | |

38 | depends on HAVE_KPROBES | |
39 | help | |
40 | Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and | |
41 | execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes | |
42 | a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful | |
43 | for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing. | |
44 | If in doubt, say "N". | |

9ba16087 | 47 | bool |

48 | help |
49 | Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses | |
50 | without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are | |
51 | unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on | |
52 | unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception | |
53 | handler.) | |
54 | ||
55 | This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can | |
56 | perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different | |
57 | code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network | |
58 | drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment | |
59 | problems with received packets if doing so would not help | |
60 | much. | |
61 | ||
62 | See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more | |
63 | information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses. | |
