SLUB: support slub_debug on by default
Add a new configuration variable
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON
If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging
switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging
is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a
kernel parameter.
Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was
built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifying
slub_debug=-
as a kernel parameter.
Dave Jones wanted this feature.
