Message-ID: <20140714192416.GA30293@redhat.com> Mail-Followup-To: Dave Jones , Linux Kernel , mingo@elte.hu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.23 (2014-03-12) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I was puzzled why /proc/$$/stack had disappeared, until I figured out I had disabled the last debug option that did a 'select STACKTRACE'. This patch makes the option show up at config time, so it can be enabled without enabling any of the more heavyweight debug options.
