This series is a trivial improvment for the layout of 'kernel hacking'
configuration menu. Now we have many items in it which makes takes
a little time to look up them since they are not well structured yet.
Early discussion is here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/9/1/39
Changbin Du (8):
kconfig/hacking: Group sysrq/kgdb/ubsan into 'Generic Kernel Debugging
Instruments'
kconfig/hacking: Create submenu for arch special debugging options
kconfig/hacking: Group kernel data structures debugging together
kconfig/hacking: Move kernel testing and coverage options to same
submenu
kconfig/hacking: Move Oops into 'Lockups and Hangs'
kconfig/hacking: Move SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK after DEBUG_STACK_USAGE
kconfig/hacking: Create a submenu for scheduler debugging options
kconfig/hacking: Move DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE to 'printk and dmesg options'

Hi,
Series applies to v5.3-rc7. Has some problems applying to linux-next.
Under 'Compile-time checks and compiler options', "Debug Filesystem" does not belong here.
Maybe move it under 'Generic Kernel Debugging Instruments'.
I mostly like it. I might have put 'Debug notifier call chains' under
'Debug kernel data structures', but that's not a big deal.

Let me rebase to linux-next.

yes, let's move it to 'Generic Kernel Debugging Instruments'.
