FWIW this .config generates a _TON_ of Kconfig dep warnings..

Urgh, Kconfig hell.

config PERF_EVENTS
bool "Kernel performance events and counters"
default y if (PROFILING || PERF_COUNTERS)
depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
select ANON_INODES
select IRQ_WORK


# grep PERF_EVENTS borken-build/.config
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_HAVE_PERF_EVENTS_NMI=y



So we managed to get PERF_EVENTS=y even though its dependency
HAVE_PERF_EVENTS=n.


I bet that's because of:

config X86
select HAVE_PERF_EVENTS if (!M386 && !M486)
select PERF_EVENTS


Ingo, should we simply do something like the below patch?

Subject: x86: Remove M[34]86 conditional on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS

x86 requires PERF_EVENTS because of the hardware breakpoint mess,
so don't make it conditional on M[34]86.
