However if the situation turns out to be not that optimistic, we might
track "bisect stopper" kconfig options over kernel releases. For
bisect scripts to auto pick them up.
An example kconfig bisect-blacklist file would be:
$ cat tools/testing/configs/bisect-4.12.config
# CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS is not set
That would mean:
CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS will reliably stop kernel from booting before 4.12.
If ever bisecting into pre-4.12 kernels, better disable it.
The best fit would be the uncommon drivers and optional features.
Warnings are typically not bisect stoppers so can be ignored. Kernel
panics that happen rare enough to impact bisect may also be ignored.
Thanks,
Fengguang
