  29           Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
  30           drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
  31           of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
  32           testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
  33           known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
  34           currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
  35           uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
  36           avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
  37           testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
  38           may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
  39           in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
  40           with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
  41           (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
  42           <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
  43           <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
  44           <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).

  46           This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are

  50           Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
  51           falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
  52           using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
  53           cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
  54           you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
  55           drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

 958
 959           Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
 960           counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
 961           types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
 962           suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
 963           kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
 964           when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
 965           used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
 966
 967           The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
 968           these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
