Subject: [RFC PATCH] ARM: debug: Add prompt for FRAME_POINTER to Kconfig.debug
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2015 17:04:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1428537883-19622-1-git-send-email-gregory.0xf0@gmail.com> (raw)
Without a prompt string, it is impossible to disable FRAME_POINTER on
ARM. It will simply set the default value anytime you run 'make'.
To reproduce the original issue, run:
make multi_v7_defconfig
scripts/config -d ARM_UNWIND
make oldconfig
# check .config, note that FRAME_POINTER=y
scripts/config -d FRAME_POINTER
make oldconfig
# check .config, note that FRAME_POINTER is still y
