H A D | Kconfig | diff 99e8c5a3b875a34d894a711c9a3669858d6adf45 Thu Dec 17 01:33:54 CET 2009 Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> hw-breakpoints: Fix hardware breakpoints -> perf events dependency
The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config dependencies.
Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't ensure perf can never be disabled under us.
We have:
config X86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS select PERF_EVENTS
config PERF_EVENTS [...]
x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is necessary for the breakpoints.
What we need is:
- x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS - HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS
so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86.
This fixes the following kind of build errors:
In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31: include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr': include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr'
v2: Select also ANON_INODES from x86, required for perf
