Subject: [PATCH v2] powerpc/configs: Add debug configs for debugging
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:43:08 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827121309.94434-1-gautam@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

Kernel has multiple config options to run extra validation checks that
can help catch bugs. Define new configs for major subsystems to
make it easy to enable the debug config options for a given area.

Signed-off-by: Gautam Menghani <gautam@linux.ibm.com>

v1 -> v2:
1. Split the enablement of configs into pseries and powernv configs.
