+ Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and

Include in-kernel hooks for the xmon kernel monitor/debugger.
Unless you are intending to debug the kernel, say N here.

overflowing the process kernel stacks.

- help
- If you say Y here, additional code will be inserted into the
- scheduler and related routines to collect statistics about
- scheduler behavior and provide them in /proc/schedstat. These
- stats may be useful for both tuning and debugging the scheduler
- If you aren't debugging the scheduler or trying to tune a specific
- application, you can say N to avoid the very slight overhead
- this adds.
