SubjectRe: [PATCH] irqtrace-option-off-compile-fix
From
Date
I was testing on x86_64 and turned off the option in
arch/x86_64/Kconfig.debug.

When the option is turned off, the following functions become undefined:
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
safe_halt()
local_save_flags()
irqs_disabled()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)

It seems plausible that some users may want to avoid the overhead of
tracing IRQFLAGS by turning the option off.

Regards,
Tim Chen
