Hide CONFIG_OPTPROBES and set if the arch supports optimized kprobes (IOW, HAVE_OPTPROBES=y), since this option doesn't change the major behavior of kprobes, and workarounds for minor changes are documented.

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.

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".

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.
