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. | |

35 | depends on OPROFILE && X86 | |
36 | help | |
37 | The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing | |
38 | feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters | |
39 | are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching | |
40 | between events at an user specified time interval. | |

50 | depends on HAVE_KPROBES | |
51 | help | |
52 | Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and | |
53 | execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes | |
54 | a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful | |
55 | for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing. | |
56 | If in doubt, say "N". | |

9ba16087 | 59 | bool |
58340a07 JB |
60 | help |
61 | Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses | |
62 | without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are | |
63 | unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on | |
64 | unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception | |
65 | handler.) | |
66 | ||
67 | This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can | |
68 | perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different | |
69 | code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network | |
70 | drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment | |
71 | problems with received packets if doing so would not help | |
72 | much. | |
73 | ||
74 | See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more | |
75 | information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses. | |
