Subject: mismatch between default and defconfig LOG_BUF_SHIFT values
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2006 05:02:41 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0611280451010.13481@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
not like it's a big deal, but there's a minor incongruity between
the default values for LOG_BUF_SHIFT for IA64 depending on whether
you're configuring for the first time or not.
if i'm configuring with a fresh tree for the first time (so that
there's no .config file) and i run:
$ make ARCH=ia64 menuconfig (on my x86 system, just for fun)
then the initial value for LOG_BUF_SHIFT is obtained from
arch/ia64/defconfig:
CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=20
however, once i do that initial config, if i deselect "Kernel
debugging" and later reselect it, the new default value of 16 for that
config option comes from lib/Kconfig.debug:
...
config LOG_BUF_SHIFT
int "Kernel log buffer size (16 => 64KB, 17 => 128KB)" if DEBUG_KERNEL
range 12 21
default 17 if S390 || LOCKDEP
default 16 if X86_NUMAQ || IA64 <-- 16, not 20
...
is it worth trying to bring the Kconfig.debug default values into
line with the defconfig file values, to avoid any possible confusion?
