From f850c30c8b426ba1688cb63b1a3e534eed03a138 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2010 17:25:17 +0100 Subject: tracing/kprobes: Make Kconfig dependencies generic KPROBES_EVENT actually depends on the regs and stack access API (b1cf540f) and not on x86. So introduce a new config option which architectures can select if they have the API implemented and switch x86.
