From: Dave Hansen Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2013 20:04:46 +0000 (-0700) Subject: consolidate compilation option configs X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6dfc06651b3d29aa07ed99b8075e5d324f7a953a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git consolidate compilation option configs Original Post: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184207.6E00DDEC@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com Again, trying to come up with some common themes of the stuff in the kernel hacking menu... There are quite a few options to tweak compilation in some way, or perform extra compile-time checks. Give them their own menu. The diff here looks a bit funny... makes it look like I'm moving debugfs even though I'm actually moving the options on either side of it.
