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 a user specified time interval.

help
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 JUMP_LABEL
bool "Optimize very unlikely/likely branches"
depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
depends on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO
help
This option enables a transparent branch optimization that
makes certain almost-always-true or almost-always-false branch
conditions even cheaper to execute within the kernel.
Certain performance-sensitive kernel code, such as trace points,
scheduler functionality, networking code and KVM have such
branches and include support for this optimization technique.
If it is detected that the compiler has support for "asm goto",
the kernel will compile such branches with just a nop
instruction. When the condition flag is toggled to true, the
nop will be converted to a jump instruction to execute the
conditional block of instructions.
This technique lowers overhead and stress on the branch prediction
of the processor and generally makes the kernel faster. The update
of the condition is slower, but those are always very rare.
( On 32-bit x86, the necessary options added to the compiler
flags may increase the size of the kernel slightly. )

help
If function tracer is enabled and the arch supports full
passing of pt_regs to function tracing, then kprobes can
optimize on top of function tracing.
config UPROBES
def_bool n
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_UPROBES
help
Uprobes is the user-space counterpart to kprobes: they
enable instrumentation applications (such as 'perf probe')
to establish unintrusive probes in user-space binaries and
libraries, by executing handler functions when the probes
are hit by user-space applications.
( These probes come in the form of single-byte breakpoints,
managed by the kernel and kept transparent to the probed
application. )
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.
config ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP
bool
help
Modern versions of GCC (since 4.4) have builtin functions
for handling byte-swapping. Using these, instead of the old
inline assembler that the architecture code provides in the
__arch_bswapXX() macros, allows the compiler to see what's
happening and offers more opportunity for optimisation. In
particular, the compiler will be able to combine the byteswap
with a nearby load or store and use load-and-swap or
store-and-swap instructions if the architecture has them. It
should almost *never* result in code which is worse than the
hand-coded assembler in <asm/swab.h>. But just in case it
does, the use of the builtins is optional.
Any architecture with load-and-swap or store-and-swap
instructions should set this. And it shouldn't hurt to set it
on architectures that don't have such instructions.

This option turns on the "stack-protector" GCC feature. This
feature puts, at the beginning of functions, a canary value on
the stack just before the return address, and validates
the value just before actually returning. Stack based buffer
overflows (that need to overwrite this return address) now also
overwrite the canary, which gets detected and the attack is then
neutralized via a kernel panic.
Functions will have the stack-protector canary logic added if they
have an 8-byte or larger character array on the stack.
This feature requires gcc version 4.2 or above, or a distribution
gcc with the feature backported ("-fstack-protector").
On an x86 "defconfig" build, this feature adds canary checks to
about 3% of all kernel functions, which increases kernel code size
by about 0.3%.

This feature requires gcc version 4.9 or above, or a distribution
