    time: Remove CONFIG_TIMER_STATS · dfb4357d
    Kees Cook authored
    
    
    Currently CONFIG_TIMER_STATS exposes process information across namespaces:
    
    kernel/time/timer_list.c print_timer():
    
            SEQ_printf(m, ", %s/%d", tmp, timer->start_pid);
    
    /proc/timer_list:
    
     #11: <0000000000000000>, hrtimer_wakeup, S:01, do_nanosleep, cron/2570
    
    Given that the tracer can give the same information, this patch entirely
    removes CONFIG_TIMER_STATS.
