18 Say Y here to enable the extended profiling support mechanisms used
19 by profilers such as OProfile.

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.
