Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 07/10] rcu: Consolidate debugging Kconfig options
Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2013 16:15:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1359245712-3843-7-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1359245712-3843-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The RCU-related debugging Kconfig options are in two different places,
and consume too much screen real estate.  This commit therefore
consolidates them into their own menu.
