Agreed. I'm inclined to make it CONFIG_DEBUG_SECCOMP_CACHE and guarded by a CAP just to make it "debug only". > I suspect it _is_ the right thing to do (just look at my own RFC's > "debug" patch), but I'd like this to be well justified in the commit > log. > > And yes, while it does hide behind a CONFIG, I'd still want it justified, > especially since distros have a tendency to just turn everything on > anyway. ;) Is there something to stop a config from being enabled in an allyesconfig? I remember seeing something like that.
