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.

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".

53 This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
54 makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
55 conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
56
57 Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
58 scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
59 branches and include support for this optimization technique.
60
45f81b1c 61 If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
c5905afb

62 the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
63 instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
64 nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
65 conditional block of instructions.
66
67 This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
68 of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
69 of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.

81 help
82 Some architectures are unable to perform unaligned accesses
83 without the use of get_unaligned/put_unaligned. Others are
84 unable to perform such accesses efficiently (e.g. trap on
85 unaligned access and require fixing it up in the exception
86 handler.)
87
88 This symbol should be selected by an architecture if it can
89 perform unaligned accesses efficiently to allow different
90 code paths to be selected for these cases. Some network
91 drivers, for example, could opt to not fix up alignment
92 problems with received packets if doing so would not help
93 much.
94
95 See Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt for more
96 information on the topic of unaligned memory accesses.
