[PATCH 2/7] consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.

This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option.
