From 91f73f90d97fa67effbb49e0a79c50cf26dfe324 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:34:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/markers: make markers select tracepoints Sometimes it happens that KConfig dependencies are not handled like in the following scenario: - config A bool - config B bool depends on A - config C bool select B If one selects C, then it will select B without checking its dependency to A, if A hasn't been selected elsewhere, it will result in a build failure. This is what happens on the following build error: kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range': (.text+0x52f64): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_register_noupdate' kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range': (.text+0x52f74): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate' kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probe_range': (.text+0x52fb9): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate' kernel/built-in.o: In function `marker_update_probes': marker.c:(.text+0x530ba): undefined reference to `tracepoint_probe_update_all' CONFIG_KVM_TRACE will select CONFIG_MARKER, but the latter depends on CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS which will not be selected.
