    x86/defconfig: Enable CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y in the defconfig · ff936357
    Ingo Molnar authored
    With CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y enabled, 'uname' provides
    much more useful output on debug kernels:
    
     Before:
    
       # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set
    
       $ uname -a
       Linux localhost 5.16.0-rc7+ #4563 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 30 08:28:38 CET 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    
     After:
    
       # CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y
    
       $ uname -a
       Linux localhost 5.16.0-rc7-02294-g5537f9709b16 #4562 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 30 08:27:17 CET 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    
    This is particularly valuable during bisection, if we want to double check
    the exact kernel version we are testing.
    
    (Just remove the config line, the global Kconfig default for this is default-y.)
