[PATCH] tiny: reverse logic for DISABLE_DEV_COREDUMP

From: Aristeu Rozanski
Date: Thu Oct 16 2014 - 11:50:01 EST


It's desirable for allnconfig and tinyconfig targets to result in the
least amount of code possible. DISABLE_DEV_COREDUMP exists as a way to
switch off DEV_COREDUMP regardless if any drivers select
WANT_DEV_COREDUMP.

This patch renames the option to ENABLE_DEV_COREDUMP and setting it to
'n' (as in allnconfig or tinyconfig) will effectively disable device
coredump.

Drivers should "select" this option if they desire to use the
device coredump mechanism.

- Disable the device coredump mechanism despite drivers wanting to
- use it; this allows for more sensitive systems or systems that
- don't want to ever access the information to not have the code,
- nor keep any data.
+ This option controls if the device coredump mechanism is available or
+ not; if disabled, the mechanism will be omitted even if drivers that
+ can use it are enabled.
+ Say 'N' for more sensitive systems or systems that don't want
+ to ever access the information to not have the code, nor keep any
+ data.

- If unsure, say N.
