 config GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY
 	bool "Compute the cyclomatic complexity of a function" if EXPERT
 	depends on !COMPILE_TEST	# too noisy
 	help
 	  The complexity M of a function's control flow graph is defined as:
 	   M = E - N + 2P
 	  where

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

 	  Enabling this plugin reports the complexity to stderr during the
 	  build. It mainly serves as a simple example of how to create a
 	  gcc plugin for the kernel.

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

 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!

 	  This plugin was ported from grsecurity/PaX. More information at:
 	   * https://grsecurity.net/

 config GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK
 	bool "Force initialization of variables containing userspace addresses"
 	# Currently STRUCTLEAK inserts initialization out of live scope of
 	# variables from KASAN point of view. This leads to KASAN false
 	# positive reports. Prohibit this combination for now.
 	depends on !KASAN_EXTRA
 	help
 	  This plugin zero-initializes any structures containing a
 	  __user attribute. This can prevent some classes of information
 	  exposures.

 config GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL
 	bool "Force initialize all struct type variables passed by reference"
 	depends on GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK
 	depends on !COMPILE_TEST
 	help
 	  Zero initialize any struct type local variable that may be passed by
 	  reference without having been initialized.

 config GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_VERBOSE
 	bool "Report forcefully initialized variables"
 	depends on GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK
 	depends on !COMPILE_TEST	# too noisy
 	help
 	  This option will cause a warning to be printed each time the
 	  structleak plugin finds a variable it thinks needs to be
 	  initialized. Since not all existing initializers are detected
 	  by the plugin, this can produce false positive warnings.

 config GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT
 	bool "Randomize layout of sensitive kernel structures"
 	select MODVERSIONS if MODULES
 	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.

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

 config GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK
 	bool "Erase the kernel stack before returning from syscalls"
 	depends on GCC_PLUGINS
 	depends on HAVE_ARCH_STACKLEAK
 	help
 	  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.

 	depends on GCC_PLUGIN_STACKLEAK
 	help
 	  The STACKLEAK gcc plugin instruments the kernel code for tracking
 	  the lowest border of the kernel stack (and for some other purposes).
 	  It inserts the stackleak_track_stack() call for the functions with
 	  a stack frame size greater than or equal to this parameter.

 	  If this is set, STACKLEAK metrics for every task are available in
 	  the /proc file system. In particular, /proc/<pid>/stack_depth
 	  shows the maximum kernel stack consumption for the current and
 	  previous syscalls. Although this information is not precise, it
 	  can be useful for estimating the STACKLEAK performance impact for
 	  your workloads.

 config STACKLEAK_RUNTIME_DISABLE
 	bool "Allow runtime disabling of kernel stack erasing"
