The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing

feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters

between events at an user specified time interval.

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".

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.

Depending on the arch implementation of hardware breakpoints,

some of them have separate registers for data and instruction

breakpoints addresses, others have mixed registers to store

them but define the access type in a control register.

Select this option if your arch implements breakpoints under the
