[PATCH 2/2] lockdep: allow user to disable CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS

[tom.leiming@gmail.com (Ming Lei)]

CC: ARM

2010/5/5  <tom.leiming@gmail.com>:
> From: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com>

> There is still the lost irq-on tracing issue on ARM,
> (see http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=126047420005553&w=2)
> which may disable lockdep after kernel boot, seems no
> good solution for the issue up to now.
>
> The patch exports the config option of CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS
> and allows user to disable it for support of checking circular
> dead lock only if irq flags tracing can't work correctly always.
