Combine instrumentation menus in kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation Quoting Randy: "It seems sad that this patch sources Kconfig.marker, a 7-line file, 20-something times. Yes, you (we) don't want to put those 7 lines into 20-something different files, so sourcing is the right thing. However, what you did for avr32 seems more on the right track to me: make _one_ Instrumentation support menu that includes PROFILING, OPROFILE, KPROBES, and MARKERS and then use (source) that in all of the arches."

menuconfig INSTRUMENTATION
bool "Instrumentation Support"
default y
---help---
Say Y here to get to see options related to performance measurement,
system-wide debugging, and testing. This option alone does not add any
kernel code.
If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and
disabled. If you're trying to debug the kernel itself, go see the
Kernel Hacking menu.
if INSTRUMENTATION
config PROFILING
bool "Profiling support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
help
Say Y here to enable the extended profiling support mechanisms used
by profilers such as OProfile.
config OPROFILE
tristate "OProfile system profiling (EXPERIMENTAL)"
Tiny clean-up of OPROFILE/KPROBES configuration Make the Kconfig.instrumentation file a bit easier on the eyes, and use the new ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE for x86[-64]. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
and applications.
If unsure, say N.

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".
Linux Kernel Markers The marker activation functions sits in kernel/marker.c. A hash table is used to keep track of the registered probes and armed markers, so the markers within a newly loaded module that should be active can be activated at module load time. marker_query has been removed. marker_get_first, marker_get_next and marker_release should be used as iterators on the markers.

Place an empty function call at each marker site. Can be
dynamically changed for a probe function.
