Subject: [PATCH kcsan 14/32] kcsan: Cleanup of main KCSAN Kconfig option
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2020 12:04:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200309190420.6100-14-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200309190359.GA5822@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72>

From: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>

This patch cleans up the rules of the 'KCSAN' Kconfig option by:
  1. implicitly selecting 'STACKTRACE' instead of depending on it;
  2. depending on DEBUG_KERNEL, to avoid accidentally turning KCSAN on if
     the kernel is not meant to be a debug kernel;
  3. updating the short and long summaries.
