Subject: [PATCH 01/17] mm/ksw: add build system support
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 15:32:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250828073311.1116593-2-wangjinchao600@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250828073311.1116593-1-wangjinchao600@gmail.com>

Add Kconfig and Makefile infrastructure for KStackWatch, a real-time tool
for debugging kernel stack corruption.

The implementation is located under `mm/kstackwatch/`.
