| OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the |
| whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries, |
| and applications. |

| If unsure, say N. |

| help |
| Instruction-Based Sampling (IBS) is a new profiling |
| technique that provides rich, precise program performance |
| information. IBS is introduced by AMD Family10h processors |
| (AMD Opteron Quad-Core processor “Barcelona”) to overcome |
| the limitations of conventional performance counter |
| sampling. |

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

| config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS |
| bool |
| help |
| Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses |
| without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are |
| unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on |
| unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception |
| handler.) |
| |
| This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can |
| perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different |
| code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network |
| drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment |
| problems with received packets if doing so would not help |
| much. |
| |
| See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more |
| information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses. |
