5 Say Y here to get to see options related to performance measurement,
6 system-wide debugging, and testing. This option alone does not add any
9 If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and
10 disabled. If you're trying to debug the kernel itself, go see the
16 bool "Profiling support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
18 Say Y here to enable the extended profiling support mechanisms used
19 by profilers such as OProfile.
22 tristate "OProfile system profiling (EXPERIMENTAL)"

24 depends on HAVE_OPROFILE
26 OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the

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