[PATCH v2] powerpc/configs: Add debug configs for debugging
From: Gautam Menghani <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-27 12:14:26
Kernel has multiple config options to run extra validation checks that can help catch bugs. Define new configs for major subsystems to make it easy to enable the debug config options for a given area. Signed-off-by: Gautam Menghani <redacted> --- v1 -> v2: 1. Split the enablement of configs into pseries and powernv configs. arch/powerpc/Makefile | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ arch/powerpc/configs/common_debug.config | 11 ++++++++ arch/powerpc/configs/locks_debug.config | 13 ++++++++++ arch/powerpc/configs/lockup_debug.config | 4 +++ arch/powerpc/configs/mm_debug.config | 24 ++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 84 insertions(+) create mode 100644 arch/powerpc/configs/common_debug.config create mode 100644 arch/powerpc/configs/locks_debug.config create mode 100644 arch/powerpc/configs/lockup_debug.config create mode 100644 arch/powerpc/configs/mm_debug.config
