| |
Linus:
On the per-architecture side, I do think it would be better to *not* have internal architecture knowledge in a generic file, and as such a line like
depends on X86_32 || IA64 || PPC || S390 || SPARC64 || X86_64 || AVR32
really shouldn't exist in a file like kernel/Kconfig.instrumentation.
It would be much better to do
depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES
in that generic file, and then architectures that do support it would just have a
bool ARCH_SUPPORTS_KPROBES default y
in *their* architecture files. That would seem to be much more logical, and is readable both for arch maintainers *and* for people who have no clue - and don't care - about which architecture is supposed to support which interface...
Changelog:
Actually, I know I gave this as the magic incantation, but now that I see it, I realize that I should have told you to just use
config KPROBES_SUPPORT def_bool y
instead, which is a bit denser.
We seem to use both kinds of syntax for these things, but this is really what "def_bool" is there for...
- Use HAVE_KPROBES - Use a select
- Yet another update :
Moving to HAVE_* now.
