For a long time i wanted to do something like that for all the kernel debugging options, to by default only offer a simple menu of: ( ) Debug Disabled (*) Transparent Low-Overhead Debugging ( ) Transparent Medium-Overhead Debugging ( ) Transparent High-Overhead Debugging ( ) Custom Debugging so say softlockup-detect or spinlock-sleep checks would be enabled by Low-Overhead Debugging, but slab-debug or lockdep would only be enabled by the High-Overhead Debugging option. and all the zillions of debug options would only show up if "Custom Debugging" is selected. Plus this would have the advantage that if we add a new debug option, and the tester already has a .config with say "Transparent Low-Overhead Debugging" enabled - Kconfig would pick the right value for that new debug option. This would remove the need and desire to 'default y' certain debugging features to get them tested ...
