Somebody's been hitting the phunky pharmaceuticals in the last 4 days,
because this ball-of-joy snuck into linux-next.patch sometime between
-mmotm1106 and --mmotm1110.
Seen in a 'make silentallconfig'
Single-depth WCHAN output (SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER) [Y/n/?] (NEW) ?
Calculate simpler /proc/<PID>/wchan values. If this option
is disabled then wchan values will recurse back to the
caller function. This provides more accurate wchan values,
at the expense of slightly more scheduling overhead.
If in doubt, say "Y".
So if I say 'y', is that a request to disable it, or enable it? And
what exactly do I get if I vote *against* 'more accurate wchan values'?
Do I get everybody having the same wchan pointing somewhere in the
scheduler code, because that's where __builtin_return_address() points?
And please - a triple negative in the Kconfig variable name? This has
gotta be a winner for poor taste in variable naming...
