The reason for hiding this under SLUB_DEBUG was to have some way to guarantee that no instrumentations is added if one does not want it. SLUB_DEBUG is on by default and builds in a general debugging framework that can be enabled at runtime in production kernels. If someone disabled SLUB_DEBUG then that has been done with the intend to get a minimal configuration. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
