The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config dependencies. Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't ensure perf can never be disabled under us. We have: config X86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS select PERF_EVENTS config PERF_EVENTS [...] x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is necessary for the breakpoints. What we need is: - x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS - HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86. This fixes the following kind of build errors: In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31: include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr': include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr' v2: Select also ANON_INODES from x86, required for perf Reported-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Reported-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Reported-by: Andrew Randrianasulu <randrik_a@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> LKML-Reference: <1261010034-7786-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Instruction-Based Sampling (IBS) is a new profiling
|
|
technique that provides rich, precise program performance
|
|
information. IBS is introduced by AMD Family10h processors
|
|
(AMD Opteron Quad-Core processor "Barcelona") to overcome
|
|
the limitations of conventional performance counter
|
|
sampling.

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".

config HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS
|

bool

|
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.
