These registers count the number of certain 1491 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses 1492 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the 1493 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts 1494 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be 1495 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU. 1496 1497 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of 1498 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a 1499 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/.

If this option is not enabled, 1605 then the flag will be ignored. 1606 1607 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by 1608 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator. 1609 1610 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be 1611 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in 1612 userspace.
