It's pretty sad to go and make something like this a config option. But given that it is, believe it or not, an exported-to-userspace interface, I guess there's not much choice.
The patch is a desirable change (I do get seasick reading x86_64 traces, but I'll get over it), but it'll cause various bits of downstream grief. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
