Ugh!
Please don't do this in the sn2 defconfig! Spin lock debugging totally
kills scalability. I'll end up with a ton of internal complaints over
the kernel not performing if this goes in :-(
Cheers,
Jes

Well you tell me how to stop ia64 developers from submitting stuff which
has stupid bugs which instamanifest for everyone else? It is not uncommon.

Beat them with a stick?
Seriously, not sure how to deal with it. I try and keep the
sn2_defconfig to match the actual hardware and my colleagues rely on
being able to build that. With spin lock debugging enabled we can barely
boot the system on medium to large boxes.
If you get stuff like that from someone with an sgi.com address, let me
know and I'll apply the clue 2x4.
Cheers,
Jes

Make it a pointy stick and I can improve on that.
I've been thinking that we could do with a CONFIG_RC_KERNEL or something
which gets turned on up until -rc4 or so, then gets turned off. So we can
make the devel kernels more debugging-friendly.
The main problem would be remembering to turn the dang thing off and on at
the right times.

I like that idea! I wonder if we could somehow do this with some script
magic? but we may also want to be able to offer it as a config option
that people can force off if they want to (with some flashy neon signs
telling them they are entering rogue territory).
Cheers,
Jes
