- GCC plugins are loadable modules that provide extra features to the
- compiler. They are useful for runtime instrumentation and static analysis.
- See Documentation/kbuild/gcc-plugins.rst for details.

- 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:
