    make CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL invisible and default · 5a958db3
    Kees Cook 提交于
    This config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is
    almost always enabled by default (especially in distro builds). As agreed
    during the Linux kernel summit, it should be removed. As a first step,
    remove it from being listed, and default it to on. Once it has been
    removed from all subsystem Kconfigs, it will be dropped entirely.
    
    For items that really are experimental, maintainers should use "default
    n", optionally include "(EXPERIMENTAL)" in the title, and add language to
    the help text indicating why the item should be considered experimental.
    
    For items that are dangerously experimental, the maintainer is encouraged
    to follow the above title recommendation, add stronger language to the
    help text, and optionally use (depending on the extent of the danger,
    from least to most dangerous): printk(), add_taint(TAINT_WARN),
    add_taint(TAINT_CRAP), WARN_ON(1), and CONFIG_BROKEN.
