Subject: [PATCH 03/14] x86/paravirt: remove PARAVIRT_DEBUG config option
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 08:34:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250911063433.13783-4-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250911063433.13783-1-jgross@suse.com>
The only effect of CONFIG_PARAVIRT_DEBUG set is that instead of doing
a call using a NULL pointer a BUG() is being raised.
While the BUG() will be a little bit easier to analyse, the call of
NULL isn't really that difficult to find the reason for.
Remove the config option to make paravirt coding a little bit less
annoying.
