When CONFIG_PROC_FS is not set and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y, make menuconfig screams like this: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PROC_CHILDREN Depends on [n]: PROC_FS [=n] Selected by [y]: - CHECKPOINT_RESTORE [=y] CHECKPOINT_RESTORE would select PROC_CHILDREN which depends on PROC_FS, so add depends on PROC_FS to CHECKPOINT_RESTORE to fix this.
