Subject: [patch V6 18/31] rseq: Provide static branch for runtime debugging
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2025 09:44:55 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251027084307.089270547@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20251027084220.785525188@linutronix.de
Config based debug is rarely turned on and is not available easily when
things go wrong.
Provide a static branch to allow permanent integration of debug mechanisms
along with the usual toggles in Kconfig, command line and debugfs.
