Right (on the implicit AND).

> 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.

Ack. I should have done that myself.

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.
