- Enable hardware performance counter support for perf events. If
- disabled, perf events will use software events only.
+ Increase kernel security by ensuring that normal kernel accesses
+ are unable to access userspace addresses. This can help prevent
+ use-after-free bugs becoming an exploitable privilege escalation

+ CPUs with low-vector mappings use a best-efforts implementation.
+ Their lower 1MB needs to remain accessible for the vectors, but
+ the remainder of userspace will become appropriately inaccessible.
