From 2a01bb3885c9145dbb7583d5aa5f5d5504f6f46f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle McMartin Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2012 08:15:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] panic: Make panic_on_oops configurable Several distros set this by default by patching panic_on_oops. It seems to fit with the BOOTPARAM_{HARD,SOFT}_PANIC options though, so let's add a Kconfig entry and reduce some more upstream delta.
