Move Kconfig.instrumentation to arch/Kconfig and init/Kconfig
Move the instrumentation Kconfig to arch/Kconfig for architecture dependent options - oprofile - kprobes and init/Kconfig for architecture independent options - profiling - markers Remove the "Instrumentation Support" menu. Everything moves to "General setup". Delete the kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation file.

- bool "Instrumentation Support"

- ---help---
- Say Y here to get to see options related to performance measurement,
- system-wide debugging, and testing. This option alone does not add any
- kernel code.
-
- If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and
- disabled. If you're trying to debug the kernel itself, go see the
- Kernel Hacking menu.

- by profilers such as OProfile.

- depends on PROFILING && !UML
- depends on HAVE_OPROFILE
- help
- OProfile is a profiling system capable of profiling the
- whole system, include the kernel, kernel modules, libraries,
- and applications.

- depends on KALLSYMS && MODULES && !UML
- depends on HAVE_KPROBES
- help
- 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".

- help
- Place an empty function call at each marker site. Can be
- dynamically changed for a probe function.
