Prasanna S Panchamukhi cd6b0762a0 [PATCH] Move Kprobes and Oprofile to "Instrumentation Support" menu
Andrew Morton suggested to move kprobes from kernel hacking menu, since
kernel hacking menu is in-appropriate for the Kprobes.  This patch moves
Kprobes and Oprofile under instrumentation menu.

(akpm: it's not a natural fit, but things like djprobes and the s390 guys'
statistics library need a home)

config PROFILING
bool "Profiling support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
help
Say Y here to enable the extended profiling support mechanisms used
by profilers such as OProfile.
config OPROFILE
tristate "OProfile system profiling (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on PROFILING
help
OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
and applications.
Due to firmware bugs, you may need to use the "nohalt" boot
option if you're using OProfile with the hardware performance
counters.
If unsure, say N.
