That makes is visible which is pointless because it's only relevant when
there is an actual user.
I guess I may have misunderstood your intentions earlier. Initially, I
thought you were suggesting that when "SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR_INTR_STORM"
is not enabled, people should be able to choose
"GENERIC_IRQ_STAT_SNAPSHOT" through menuconfig, so I attempted to make
"GENERIC_IRQ_STAT_SNAPSHOT" visible to the user. However, after
analyzing the previous emails, it seems that what you were actually
proposing was to directly disable "GENERIC_IRQ_STAT_SNAPSHOT" when
"SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR_INTR_STORM" is not enabled, as a way to save
memory. If my current understanding is correct, then the code for that
part would look something like the following.
Does this align with your expectations?
