Subject: [PATCH 1/3] powerpc, Makefile: Make it possible to safely select CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
Date: Sat, 2 May 2009 04:14:21 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090502001421.GA9342@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090502001329.GA11549@oksana.dev.rtsoft.ru>

This patch introduces HAVE_NORMAL_FRAME_POINTER Kconfig symbol. When
defined, the top level Makefile won't add -fno-omit-frame-pointer
cflag (the flag is useless for PowerPC kernels, and also makes gcc
generate wrong code).

Also move ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS's help text.
