23	  GCC plugins are loadable modules that provide extra features to the
24	  compiler. They are useful for runtime instrumentation and static analysis.

30config GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY
31	bool "Compute the cyclomatic complexity of a function" if EXPERT
32	depends on !COMPILE_TEST	# too noisy
33	help
34	  The complexity M of a function's control flow graph is defined as:
35	   M = E - N + 2P
36	  where
37
38	  E = the number of edges
39	  N = the number of nodes
40	  P = the number of connected components (exit nodes).
41
42	  Enabling this plugin reports the complexity to stderr during the
43	  build. It mainly serves as a simple example of how to create a
44	  gcc plugin for the kernel.

46config GCC_PLUGIN_SANCOV
47	bool
48	help
49	  This plugin inserts a __sanitizer_cov_trace_pc() call at the start of
50	  basic blocks. It supports all gcc versions with plugin support (from
51	  gcc-4.5 on). It is based on the commit "Add fuzzing coverage support"
52	  by Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com>.

54config GCC_PLUGIN_LATENT_ENTROPY
55	bool "Generate some entropy during boot and runtime"
56	help
57	  By saying Y here the kernel will instrument some kernel code to
58	  extract some entropy from both original and artificially created
59	  program state.  This will help especially embedded systems where
60	  there is little 'natural' source of entropy normally.  The cost
61	  is some slowdown of the boot process (about 0.5%) and fork and
62	  irq processing.
63
64	  Note that entropy extracted this way is not cryptographically
65	  secure!

71config GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT
72	bool "Randomize layout of sensitive kernel structures"
73	select MODVERSIONS if MODULES
74	help
75	  If you say Y here, the layouts of structures that are entirely
76	  function pointers (and have not been manually annotated with
77	  __no_randomize_layout), or structures that have been explicitly
78	  marked with __randomize_layout, will be randomized at compile-time.
79	  This can introduce the requirement of an additional information
80	  exposure vulnerability for exploits targeting these structure
81	  types.
82
83	  Enabling this feature will introduce some performance impact,
84	  slightly increase memory usage, and prevent the use of forensic
85	  tools like Volatility against the system (unless the kernel
86	  source tree isn't cleaned after kernel installation).
87
88	  The seed used for compilation is located at
89	  scripts/gcc-plgins/randomize_layout_seed.h.  It remains after
90	  a make clean to allow for external modules to be compiled with
91	  the existing seed and will be removed by a make mrproper or
92	  make distclean.
93
94	  Note that the implementation requires gcc 4.7 or newer.

101	bool "Use cacheline-aware structure randomization"
102	depends on GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT
103	depends on !COMPILE_TEST	# do not reduce test coverage
104	help
105	  If you say Y here, the RANDSTRUCT randomization will make a
106	  best effort at restricting randomization to cacheline-sized
107	  groups of elements.  It will further not randomize bitfields
108	  in structures.  This reduces the performance hit of RANDSTRUCT
109	  at the cost of weakened randomization.
