config OPROFILE
tristate "OProfile system profiling"
depends on PROFILING
depends on HAVE_OPROFILE
select RING_BUFFER
select RING_BUFFER_ALLOW_SWAP
help
OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
and applications.
If unsure, say N.
config OPROFILE_EVENT_MULTIPLEX
bool "OProfile multiplexing support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
default n
depends on OPROFILE && X86
help
The number of hardware counters is limited. The multiplexing
feature enables OProfile to gather more events than counters
are provided by the hardware. This is realized by switching
between events at an user specified time interval.
If unsure, say N.
config HAVE_OPROFILE
bool
config KPROBES
bool "Kprobes"
depends on MODULES
depends on HAVE_KPROBES
select KALLSYMS
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 JUMP_LABEL
bool "Optimize trace point call sites"
depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
help
If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
the kernel will compile trace point locations with just a
nop instruction. When trace points are enabled, the nop will
be converted to a jump to the trace function. This technique
lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction of the
processor.
On i386, options added to the compiler flags may increase
the size of the kernel slightly.
config OPTPROBES
def_bool y
depends on KPROBES && HAVE_OPTPROBES
depends on !PREEMPT
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.
config HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS
bool
config KRETPROBES
def_bool y
depends on KPROBES && HAVE_KRETPROBES
config USER_RETURN_NOTIFIER
bool
depends on HAVE_USER_RETURN_NOTIFIER
help
Provide a kernel-internal notification when a cpu is about to
switch to user mode.

#
# An arch should select this if it provides all these things:
#
# task_pt_regs() in asm/processor.h or asm/ptrace.h
# arch_has_single_step() if there is hardware single-step support
# arch_has_block_step() if there is hardware block-step support
# asm/syscall.h supplying asm-generic/syscall.h interface
# linux/regset.h user_regset interfaces
# CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET #define'd in linux/elf.h
# TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE calls tracehook_report_syscall_{entry,exit}
# TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME calls tracehook_notify_resume()
# signal delivery calls tracehook_signal_handler()

config HAVE_DMA_ATTRS
bool
config USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS
bool
config HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API
bool
help
This symbol should be selected by an architecure if it supports
the API needed to access registers and stack entries from pt_regs,
declared in asm/ptrace.h
For example the kprobes-based event tracer needs this API.
config HAVE_CLK
bool
help
The <linux/clk.h> calls support software clock gating and
thus are a key power management tool on many systems.
config HAVE_DMA_API_DEBUG
bool
config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
bool
depends on PERF_EVENTS
config HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS
bool
depends on HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
help
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
latter fashion.
config HAVE_USER_RETURN_NOTIFIER
bool
config HAVE_PERF_EVENTS_NMI
bool
help
System hardware can generate an NMI using the perf event
subsystem. Also has support for calculating CPU cycle events
to determine how many clock cycles in a given period.
