Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2013 14:39:48 -0700 From: Andi Kleen <andi@...stfloor.org> To: x86@...nel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, peterz@...radead.org, Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>, fweisbec@...il.com Subject: [PATCH 6/6] x86: Allow disabling HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com> As suggested by Ingo. Make HW_BREAKPOINTS a config option. HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on perf. This allows disabling PERF_EVENTS for systems that don't need it (e.g. anything not used for development) Disabling PERF_EVENTS saves over 700k of kernel text (~5% of my config) and significant data/bss: text data bss dec hex filename 13692640 1922416 1478656 17093712 104d450 obj/vmlinux 12980092 1787544 1470464 16238100 f7c614 obj-noperf/vmlinux I didn't make it depend on CONFIG_EXPERT for now, as the system should be very usable even without it. To actually disable perf a couple of options depending on it need to be disabled, including KVM and HW_BREAKPOINTS. Longer term it would be probably nice to have modular perf.
