Subject: hw-breakpoints: Fix hardware breakpoints -> perf events dependency
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=99e8c5a3b875a34d894a711c9a3669858d6adf45;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

hw-breakpoints: Fix hardware breakpoints -> perf events dependency

The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config
dependencies.

Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't
ensure perf can never be disabled under us.

We have:

config X86
	selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS

config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS
	select PERF_EVENTS

config PERF_EVENTS
	[...]

x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf
events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is
necessary for the breakpoints.

What we need is:

 - x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS
 - HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS

so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86.

This fixes the following kind of build errors:

 In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31:
 include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr':
 include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr'

v2: Select also ANON_INODES from x86, required for perf
