  11. OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
  12. whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
  13. and applications.
  14. If unsure, say N.
  15. config OPROFILE_EVENT_MULTIPLEX

  18. depends on OPROFILE && X86
  19. help
  20. The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing
  21. feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters
  22. are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching
  23. between events at an user specified time interval.
  24. If unsure, say N.

  31. bool "Kprobes"
  32. depends on MODULES
  33. depends on HAVE_KPROBES
  34. select KALLSYMS
  35. help
  36. Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
  37. execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
  38. a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
  39. for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
  40. If in doubt, say "N".
  41. config JUMP_LABEL
  42. bool "Optimize very unlikely/likely branches"
  43. depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
  44. help
  45. This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
  46. makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
  47. conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
  48. Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
  49. scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
  50. branches and include support for this optimization technique.
  51. If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
  52. the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
  53. instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
  54. nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
  55. conditional block of instructions.
  56. This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
  57. of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
  58. of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.
  59. ( On 32-bit x86, the necessary options added to the compiler
  60. flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

  67. depends on UPROBE_EVENT && PERF_EVENTS
  68. default n
  69. help
  70. Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
  71. enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
  72. to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
  73. libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
  74. are hit by user-space applications.
  75. ( These probes come in the form of single-byte breakpoints,
  76. managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed
  77. application. )
  78. If in doubt, say "N".
  79. config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
  80. bool
  81. help
  82. Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
  83. without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
  84. unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
  85. unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
  86. handler.)
  87. This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
  88. perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
  89. code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
  90. drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
  91. problems with received packets if doing so would not help
  92. much.
  93. See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
  94. information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.

  156. Depending on the arch implementation of hardware breakpoints,
  157. some of them have separate registers for data and instruction
