debug: Add CONFIG_READABLE_ASM
Add a config option to disable various gcc compiler optimizations that make assembler listings much harder to read. This is everything that reorders code significantly or creates partial functions. This is mainly to keep kernel hackers sane. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1332960678-11879-2-git-send-email-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: H.
