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".

If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
|
|
|
|
the kernel will compile trace point locations with just a
|
|
|
|
nop instruction. When trace points are enabled, the nop will
|
|
|
|
be converted to a jump to the trace function. This technique
|
|
|
|
lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction of the
|
|
|
|
processor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

On i386, options added to the compiler flags may increase
|
|
|
|
the size of the kernel slightly.

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

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.

some of them have separate registers for data and instruction

breakpoints addresses, others have mixed registers to store
