Subject: [PATCHv2] Make CONFIG_EXPERT select CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to unhide debug options
Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2011 18:23:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110606012358.GA1909@leaf> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110605213115.GA7862@somewhere>

Several debugging options currently default to y, such as
CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.  Embedded users might
want to turn those options off to save space; however, turning them off
requires turning on CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL to unhide them.  Since
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL exists specifically to unhide debugging options, and
CONFIG_EXPERT exists specifically to unhide options potentially needed
by experts and/or embedded users, make CONFIG_EXPERT automatically imply
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL.

Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

v2: Add a comment explaining the select of DEBUG_KERNEL, as suggested by
Frederic Weisbecker.
