In order to be able to debug things like the X server and programs using the PPC Cell SPUs, the debugger needs to be able to access device memory through ptrace and /proc/pid/mem. This patch: Add the generic_access_phys access function and put the hooks in place to allow access_process_vm to access device or PPC Cell SPU memory.

OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the

whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,

and applications.

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
|
|
execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
|
|
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
|
|
for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
|
|
If in doubt, say "N".

The <linux/clk.h> calls support software clock gating and
|
|
thus are a key power management tool on many systems.
