| The complexity M of a function's control flow graph is defined as: |

| |
| E = the number of edges |
| N = the number of nodes |
| P = the number of connected components (exit nodes). |

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

| help |
| If you say Y here, the layouts of structures that are entirely |
| function pointers (and have not been manually annotated with |
| __no_randomize_layout), or structures that have been explicitly |
| marked with __randomize_layout, will be randomized at compile-time. |
| This can introduce the requirement of an additional information |
| exposure vulnerability for exploits targeting these structure |
| types. |
| |
| Enabling this feature will introduce some performance impact, |
| slightly increase memory usage, and prevent the use of forensic |
| tools like Volatility against the system (unless the kernel |
| source tree isn't cleaned after kernel installation). |
| |
| The seed used for compilation is located at |
| scripts/gcc-plgins/randomize_layout_seed.h. It remains after |
| a make clean to allow for external modules to be compiled with |
| the existing seed and will be removed by a make mrproper or |
| make distclean. |
| |
| Note that the implementation requires gcc 4.7 or newer. |

| If you say Y here, the RANDSTRUCT randomization will make a |

| groups of elements. It will further not randomize bitfields |

| This option makes the kernel erase the kernel stack before |
| returning from system calls. That reduces the information which |
| kernel stack leak bugs can reveal and blocks some uninitialized |
| stack variable attacks. |
| |
| The tradeoff is the performance impact: on a single CPU system kernel |
| compilation sees a 1% slowdown, other systems and workloads may vary |
| and you are advised to test this feature on your expected workload |
| before deploying it. |
