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

43 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
44 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
45 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
46 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.

53 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
54 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
55 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
56
57 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
58 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
59 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
60
45f81b1c 61 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb
IM
62 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
63 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
64 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
65 conditional block of instructions.
66
67 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
68 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
69 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

84 Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
85 enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
86 to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
87 libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
88 are hit by user-space applications.

98 help
99 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
100 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
101 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
102 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
103 handler.)
104
105 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
106 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
107 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
108 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
109 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
110 much.

112 See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
113 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
