  24. Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
  25. drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
  26. of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
  27. testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
  28. known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
  29. currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
  30. uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
  31. avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
  32. testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
  33. may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
  34. in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
  35. with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
  36. (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
  37. <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
  38. <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
  39. <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
  40. This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
  41. drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
  42. scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
  43. Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
  44. falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
  45. using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
  46. cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
  47. you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
  48. drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

  799. Enable kernel support for performance counter hardware.

  802. types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
  803. suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
  804. kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
  805. when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
  806. used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
  807. The Linux Performance Counter subsystem provides an abstraction of
  808. these hardware capabilities, available via a system call. It
