10    select RING_BUFFER_ALLOW_SWAP
11    help
12      OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
13      whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
14      and applications.
15
16      If unsure, say N.
17
18config OPROFILE_EVENT_MULTIPLEX
19    bool "OProfile multiplexing support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
20    default n
21    depends on OPROFILE && X86
22    help
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
26      between events at an user specified time interval.
27
28      If unsure, say N.

37config KPROBES
38    bool "Kprobes"
39    depends on MODULES
40    depends on HAVE_KPROBES
41    select KALLSYMS
42    help
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.
47      If in doubt, say "N".
48
49config JUMP_LABEL
50       bool "Optimize trace point call sites"
51       depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
52       help
53         If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
54     the kernel will compile trace point locations with just a
55     nop instruction. When trace points are enabled, the nop will
56     be converted to a jump to the trace function. This technique
57     lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction of the
58     processor.
59
60     On i386, options added to the compiler flags may increase
61     the size of the kernel slightly.
62
63config OPTPROBES
64    def_bool y
65    depends on KPROBES && HAVE_OPTPROBES
66    depends on !PREEMPT
67
68config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
69    bool
70    help
71      Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
72      without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
73      unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
74      unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
75      handler.)
76
77      This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
78      perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
79      code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
80      drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
81      problems with received packets if doing so would not help
82      much.
83
84      See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
85      information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.

98      Provide a kernel-internal notification when a cpu is about to
99      switch to user mode.

135    bool
136    help
137      This symbol should be selected by an architecure if it supports
138      the API needed to access registers and stack entries from pt_regs,
139      declared in asm/ptrace.h
140      For example the kprobes-based event tracer needs this API.
141
142config HAVE_CLK
143    bool
144    help
145      The <linux/clk.h> calls support software clock gating and
146      thus are a key power management tool on many systems.

155config HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS
156    bool
157    depends on HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
158    help
159      Depending on the arch implementation of hardware breakpoints,
160      some of them have separate registers for data and instruction
161      breakpoints addresses, others have mixed registers to store
162      them but define the access type in a control register.
163      Select this option if your arch implements breakpoints under the
164      latter fashion.

171    help
172      System hardware can generate an NMI using the perf event
173      subsystem. Also has support for calculating CPU cycle events
174      to determine how many clock cycles in a given period.

191      This makes sure that struct pages are double word aligned and that
192      e.g. the SLUB allocator can perform double word atomic operations
193      on a struct page for better performance. However selecting this
194      might increase the size of a struct page by a word.
