Why the hell is CONFIG_PERF enabled in distribution kernels?? A normal server/desktop user would NEVER USE THAT. If you're smart enough to use Perf, you ought to be smart enough to compile your own kernel.
This is a brilliant example of how stupid many distros are with their kernel configurations. They need to start understanding that enabling features that nobody uses only increases the probability of problematic bugs.
Also, they need to stop enabling CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR. It slows stuff down, and as can be seen here, often doesn't do any good.
