well, thats what they can do as you can see in the example: + FEATURE_TESTS := glibc backtrace + FEATURE_DISPLAY := glibc + + srctree := ../../../.. + include $(srctree)/tools/build/Makefile.feature you specify features you want to check in FEATURE_TESTS variable and features status you want to display in FEATURE_DISPLAY variable at the mean time the default settings for those 2 is what perf uses now (perf is the only user) in future when there's multiple users, perf will set those variables as well.. jirka -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
