On x86_32, a diff between defconfig before and after the patchset :

97a98,103
> CONFIG_PROFILING=y
> # CONFIG_MARKERS is not set
> CONFIG_OPROFILE=y
> CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y

1401,1405d1406
< CONFIG_INSTRUMENTATION=y
< CONFIG_PROFILING=y
< CONFIG_OPROFILE=y
< CONFIG_KPROBES=y
< # CONFIG_MARKERS is not set

Shows the same result. As you explain in your message, the HAVE_* is
just a way to know if the architecture provides a feature. The menu
entry is CONFIG_, which depends on CONFIG_HAVE_, will allow
y/n/m selection.

Nevermind. If the intention is to key off the build based on CONFIG_
and have the CONFIG_HAVE_ settings just to make the config simpler,
this change is fine. The side effect is just that the CONFIG_HAVE_
will still have default settings even when CONFIG_ is not set.

Mathieu,

With this patchset, a `make defconfig' results in:

CONFIG_OPROFILE=y
CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y
CONFIG_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES=y

You probably also need to change the defconfigs...

[patch 0/4] Instrumentation menu removal, against 2.6.24-rc4-mm1 (mmotm)

2007-12-08 Thread Mathieu Desnoyers
Hi Andrew,

This time I am taking no chance :

The instrumentation menu removal patchset here applies against 2.6.24-rc4-mm1
_and_ against mmotm (dated : stamp-2007-12-05-15-24) without problem.

We should hopefully be able to stop racing against other architecture specific
fixes done underneath. Please be aware that the following fix :

- fix-oprofile-configuration-breakage.patch

from MIPS did not show up in your mmotm tree. I guess you just sent it upstream
without keeping it in your own tree. I have applied the content of this fix in
my patchset (meaning : select HAVE_OPROFILE if !MIPS_MT_SMTC in
add-have-oprofile.patch), but I think you might have a reject if you still have
this fix-oprofile-configuration-breakage.patch in your local tree but not in
mmotm.

Mathieu
