These registers count the number of certain 1497 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses 1498 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the 1499 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts 1500 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be 1501 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU. 1502 1503 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of 1504 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a 1505 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/.

If this option is not enabled, 1611 then the flag will be ignored. 1612 1613 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by 1614 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator. 1615 1616 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be 1617 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in 1618 userspace.
