From 0c38e1fe0fced6aa06dbf444f7203dd7f325e369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Jones Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 15:18:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib: turn CONFIG_STACKTRACE into an actual option. I was puzzled why /proc/$$/stack had disappeared, until I figured out I had disabled the last debug option that did a 'select STACKTRACE'. This patch makes the option show up at config time, so it can be enabled without enabling any of the more heavyweight debug options.
