Source: linux Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Setting CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER=y enables a tracer to detect hardware latencies with no overhead when not used. It is not designed to be run on a production system, but is a useful tracer to use in embedded systems. Other distros enable this configuration option, I see no security issues or performance issues for users since this is by-default turned off so has to be enabled at runtime.
