Hi there, some general debugging features like kmemleak, KASAN, lockdep, UBSAN etc help fix many bugs like a microscope. On the other hand, those features are scatter around and mixed up with more situational debugging options making them difficult to consume properly.
Since I have been deal with those options on a daily basis for the last a few years and accumulated the knowledge of their pros and cons, I am thinking about to create an initial defconfig-debug available inside the tree, so that it could amplify the general debugging/testing efforts for arm64 across the broad.
The downside is that this might open a gate for other people to push yet another subject-specific defconfig, but I don't see anything as important as general debugging/testing at the moment. Then, there are two defconfig need to be modified for some common changes, but I think that is quite trivial to do. We could even create a simple script to sync if that is not overkill.
