yeah. For a long time i wanted to do something like that for all the
kernel debugging options, to by default only offer a simple menu of:
( ) Debug Disabled
(*) Transparent Low-Overhead Debugging
( ) Transparent Medium-Overhead Debugging
( ) Transparent High-Overhead Debugging
( ) Custom Debugging
so say softlockup-detect or spinlock-sleep checks would be enabled by
Low-Overhead Debugging, but slab-debug or lockdep would only be enabled
by the High-Overhead Debugging option.
and all the zillions of debug options would only show up if "Custom
Debugging" is selected. Plus this would have the advantage that if we
add a new debug option, and the tester already has a .config with say
"Transparent Low-Overhead Debugging" enabled - Kconfig would pick the
right value for that new debug option. This would remove the need and
desire to 'default y' certain debugging features to get them tested ...
