+config PERFCTR
+	bool "Performance monitoring counters support"
+	help
+	  This driver provides access to the performance-monitoring counter
+	  registers available in some (but not all) modern processors.
+	  These special-purpose registers can be programmed to count low-level
+	  performance-related events which occur during program execution,
+	  such as cache misses, pipeline stalls, etc.
+
+	  The driver supports most x86-class processors known to have
+	  performance-monitoring counters: Intel Pentium to Pentium 4,
+	  AMD K7, Cyrix 6x86MX/MII/III, VIA C3, and WinChip C6/2/3.
+
+	  On processors which have a time-stamp counter but no performance-
+	  monitoring counters, such as the AMD K6 family, the driver supports
+	  plain cycle-count performance measurements only.
+
+	  On WinChip C6/2/3 processors the performance-monitoring counters
+	  cannot be used unless the time-stamp counter has been disabled.
+	  Please read <file:drivers/perfctr/x86.c> for further information.
+
+	  You can safely say Y here, even if you intend to run the kernel
+	  on a processor without performance-monitoring counters.
+
+config PERFCTR_VIRTUAL
+	bool "Virtual performance counters support"
+	depends on PERFCTR
+	help
+	  The processor's performance-monitoring counters are special-purpose
+	  global registers. This option adds support for virtual per-process
+	  performance-monitoring counters which only run when the process
+	  to which they belong is executing. This improves the accuracy of
+	  performance measurements by reducing "noise" from other processes.
+
+	  Say Y.
