	  and applications.

	  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.

	  If unsure, say N.

	  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".

       bool "Optimize trace point call sites"
       depends on HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL
       help
         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.

	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.
