[2.6 patch] arch/cris/Kconfig.debug: use lib/Kconfig.debug

2005-08-07 Thread Adrian Bunk
This patch converts arch/cris/Kconfig.debug to using lib/Kconfig.debug. This should fix a compile error in 2.6.13-rc4 caused by a missing CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT definition. While I was editing this file, I also converted some spaces to tabs. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- T

What's the difference between synchronize_rcu() and rcu_barrier() (new function used only by reiser4 code)? From the scant documentation it seems like they do the same thing. I'm now happily running 2.6.13-rc4-rt-v0.7.52-14-reiser4 which I compiled by adding #define rcu_barrier synchronize_rc
