Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2018 09:05:25 -0800 From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.ibm.com> To: fweisbec@...il.com Cc: tglx@...utronix.de, mingo@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] time: Move CONTEXT_TRACKING to kernel/time/Kconfig Both CONTEXT_TRACKING and CONTEXT_TRACKING_FORCE are currently defined in kernel/rcu/kconfig, which might have made sense at some point, but no longer does given that RCU refers to neither of these Kconfig options. This commit therefore moves them to kernel/time/Kconfig, where the rest of the NO_HZ_FULL Kconfig options live. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
