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.

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.

OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the

whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,

and applications.

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".
