Andi Kleen 9e43e1b7c7 [PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_CHECKING and add command line option for pagefault tracing
CONFIG_CHECKING covered some debugging code used in the early times
of the port. But it wasn't even SMP safe for quite some time
and the bugs it checked for seem to be gone.

This patch removes all the code to verify GS at kernel entry. There
haven't been any new bugs in this area for a long time.

Previously it also covered the sysctl for the page fault tracing.
That didn't make much sense because that code was unconditionally
compiled in. I made that a boot option now because it is typically
only useful at boot.

Prasanna S Panchamukhi cd6b0762a0 [PATCH] Move Kprobes and Oprofile to "Instrumentation Support" menu
Andrew Morton suggested to move kprobes from kernel hacking menu, since
kernel hacking menu is in-appropriate for the Kprobes.  This patch moves
Kprobes and Oprofile under instrumentation menu.

(akpm: it's not a natural fit, but things like djprobes and the s390 guys'
statistics library need a home)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
