Artem Bityutskiy 81354de3d8 UBIFS: do not select KALLSYMS_ALL
All UBIFS needs is to make sure we stacktraces when UBIFS debugging
is enabled. It is enough to select KALLSYMS for this, KALLSYMS_ALL
is not necessary. Moreover, Randy Dunlap reported that UBIFS causes
the following Kconfig dependency warning:

warning: (UBIFS_FS_DEBUG && LOCKDEP && LATENCYTOP) selects KALLSYMS_ALL
which has unmet direct dependencies (DEBUG_KERNEL && KALLSYMS)

The reason is that KALLSYMS_ALL requires DEBUG_KERNEL and KALLSYMS, so
ideally, to select KALLSYMS_ALL we'd need to select DEBUG_KERNEL and
KALLSYMS first.

This seems to be too much to select. The easiest way to go is to forget
about KALLSYMS_ALL and just select KALLSYMS when UBIFS debugging is
enabled - that should be enough for stackdumps.

UBIFS is a file system for flash devices which works on top of UBI.

This option enables support of extended attributes.

help
This option allows to explicitly choose which compressions, if any,
are enabled in UBIFS. Removing compressors means inability to read
existing file systems.
If unsure, say 'N'.

LZO compressor is generally faster than zlib but compresses worse.
Say 'Y' if unsure.

Zlib compresses better than LZO but it is slower. Say 'Y' if unsure.

help
This option enables UBIFS debugging support. It makes sure various
assertions, self-checks, debugging messages and test modes are compiled
in (this all is compiled out otherwise). Assertions are light-weight
and this option also enables them. Self-checks, debugging messages and
test modes are switched off by default. Thus, it is safe and actually
recommended to have debugging support enabled, and it should not slow
down UBIFS. You can then further enable / disable individual debugging
features using UBIFS module parameters and the corresponding sysfs
interfaces.
