Both arch/um/ and arch/xtensa/ cause a Kconfig warning for LOCKDEP.
These arch-es select LOCKDEP_SUPPORT but they are not listed as one
of the arch-es that LOCKDEP depends on.

Since (16) arch-es define the Kconfig symbol LOCKDEP_SUPPORT if they
intend to have LOCKDEP support, replace the awkward list of
arch-es that LOCKDEP depends on with the LOCKDEP_SUPPORT symbol.

Fixes this kconfig warning: (for both um and xtensa)

Ok - the FRAME_POINTER bit is weird. Are there any architectures that have 
FRAME_POINTER defined but no LOCKDEP_SUPPORT?

LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT depends on LOCKDEP_SUPPORT. So this patch is 
equivalent to just delete the second depends-on line. Beside LOCKDEP, 
LATENCYTOP also have exactly the same depends-on line.

So isn't FRAME_POINTER used mainly to support STACK_TRACE? However, 
LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT has already included STACK_TRACE_SUPPORT in its 
dependency. So why there is a FRAME_POINTER dependency?

arch/h8300/ does AFAICT.
and arch/parisc/ has user-choosable FRAME_POINTER and no LOCKDEP support.

I will attempt to consolidate those.

I dunno why FRAME_POINTER is there. It was there before this patch.

Yes, if we disregard the FRAME_POINTER part.

True, but I don't get any implication that the same patch applies there.
Do you?

FRAME_POINTER is one way but it does not seem to be required
for STACKTRACE_SUPPORT.

Do you have any patch suggestions?

thanks.

My understanding is that the 2 depends-on statements have an implicit 
AND. So it is like

DEBUG_KERNEL && LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT && (FRAME_POINTER || 
LOCKDEP_SUPPORT). LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT is true means the 
(FRAME_POINTER || LOCKDEP_SUPPORT) will always be true. FRAME_POINTER is 
true doesn't mean the other dependencies are true. That is why I said it 
is equivalent to just "DEBUG_KERNEL && LOCK_DEBUGGING_SUPPORT". IOW, 
FRAME_POINTER will play no part here.

It is just an observation that I stumble on. It is not related to your 
patch.

Is it possible to just get rid of the 2nd depends-on statement?

The 2nd depends-on line was introduced by commit 7d37cb2c912d ("lib: fix 
kconfig dependency on ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTER"):

diff --git a/lib/Kconfig.debug b/lib/Kconfig.debug

Since STACKTRACE is selected by lockdep, maybe we can just remove the 
2nd depends-on line to see if anyone complain.

Right (on the implicit AND).

Got it.

and I should have looked at that history too. Thanks.

Yes, I agree, we can just delete that line...

I'll send a v2 and copy the author of commit 7d37cb2c912d as well.

Hm, as I review that commit, I have to wonder if the previous 'select'
was correct (if we disregard the Kconfig warning).  If so, then
FRAME_POINTER is still wanted/needed for some arch-es.

AFAICS, enabling FRAME_POINTER is a debugging aid as it enable more 
precise stacktrace. However, not all archs want to enable FRAME_POINTER 
because of LOCKDEP. Now you are just letting users decide if they want 
FRAME_POINTER or not. Maybe you can modify the help text to mention that.

LOCKDEP doesn't have any user help text.

For FRAME_POINTER, when ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS + a few other conditions
is met, it seems that the FRAME_POINTER help text is good enough IMO.
