37 Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
38 execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
39 a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
40 for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
44 bool "Activate markers"
46 Place an empty function call at each marker site. Can be
47 dynamically changed for a probe function.
