menu "Generic Driver Options" config UEVENT_HELPER_PATH	string "path to uevent helper"	default ""	help	  Path to uevent helper program forked by the kernel for	  every uevent.	  Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was	  used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It	  usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.	  This should not be used today, because usual systems create	  many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time	  frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes	  that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems	  it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup. 	  To disable user space helper program execution at early boot	  time specify an empty string here. This setting can be altered	  via /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug or via /sys/kernel/uevent_helper	  later at runtime. config DEVTMPFS	bool "Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev"	help	  This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.	  In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device	  nodes with their default names and permissions for all	  registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.	  Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add	  symlinks, and apply needed permissions.	  It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually	  udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful	  symlinks.	  In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient	  functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple	  rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers. 	  Notice: if CONFIG_TMPFS isn't enabled, the simpler ramfs	  file system will be used instead. config DEVTMPFS_MOUNT	bool "Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs"	depends on DEVTMPFS	help	  This will instruct the kernel to automatically mount the	  devtmpfs filesystem at /dev, directly after the kernel has	  mounted the root filesystem. The behavior can be overridden	  with the commandline parameter: devtmpfs.mount=0|1.	  This option does not affect initramfs based booting, here	  the devtmpfs filesystem always needs to be mounted manually	  after the roots is mounted.	  With this option enabled, it allows to bring up a system in	  rescue mode with init=/bin/sh, even when the /dev directory	  on the rootfs is completely empty. config STANDALONE	bool "Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware"	default y	help	  Select this option if you don't have magic firmware for drivers that	  need it. 	  If unsure, say Y. config PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD	bool "Prevent firmware from being built"	default y	help	  Say yes to avoid building firmware. Firmware is usually shipped	  with the driver and only when updating the firmware should a	  rebuild be made.	  If unsure, say Y here. config FW_LOADER	tristate "Userspace firmware loading support" if EXPERT	default y	---help---	  This option is provided for the case where none of the in-tree modules	  require userspace firmware loading support, but a module built	  out-of-tree does. config FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL	bool "Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary"	depends on FW_LOADER	default y	help	  The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'	  that are used by various drivers. The recommended way to	  use these is to run "make firmware_install", which, after	  converting ihex files to binary, copies all of the needed	  binary files in firmware/ to /lib/firmware/ on your system so	  that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request. 	  Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob	  into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find	  them without having to call out to userspace. This may be	  useful if your root file system requires a device that uses	  such firmware and do not wish to use an initrd. 	  This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for	  every driver that uses request_firmware() and ships its	  firmware in the kernel source tree, which avoids a	  proliferation of 'Include firmware for xxx device' options. 	  Say 'N' and let firmware be loaded from userspace. config EXTRA_FIRMWARE	string "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary"	depends on FW_LOADER	help	  This option allows firmware to be built into the kernel for the case	  where the user either cannot or doesn't want to provide it from	  userspace at runtime (for example, when the firmware in question is	  required for accessing the boot device, and the user doesn't want to	  use an initrd). 	  This option is a string and takes the (space-separated) names of the	  firmware files -- the same names that appear in MODULE_FIRMWARE()	  and request_firmware() in the source. These files should exist under	  the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is	  by default the firmware subdirectory of the kernel source tree. 	  For example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin", copy	  the usb8388.bin file into the firmware directory, and build the kernel.	  Then any request_firmware("usb8388.bin") will be satisfied internally	  without needing to call out to userspace. 	  WARNING: If you include additional firmware files into your binary	  kernel image that are not available under the terms of the GPL,	  then it may be a violation of the GPL to distribute the resulting	  image since it combines both GPL and non-GPL work. You should	  consult a lawyer of your own before distributing such an image. config EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR	string "Firmware blobs root directory"	depends on EXTRA_FIRMWARE != ""	default "firmware"	help	  This option controls the directory in which the kernel build system	  looks for the firmware files listed in the EXTRA_FIRMWARE option.	  The default is firmware/ in the kernel source tree, but by changing	  this option you can point it elsewhere, such as /lib/firmware/ or	  some other directory containing the firmware files. config FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER	bool "Fallback user-helper invocation for firmware loading"	depends on FW_LOADER	default y	help	  This option enables / disables the invocation of user-helper	  (e.g. udev) for loading firmware files as a fallback after the	  direct file loading in kernel fails.  The user-mode helper is	  no longer required unless you have a special firmware file that	  resides in a non-standard path. config DEBUG_DRIVER	bool "Driver Core verbose debug messages"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	help	  Say Y here if you want the Driver core to produce a bunch of	  debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a	  problem with the driver core and want to see more of what is	  going on. 	  If you are unsure about this, say N here. config DEBUG_DEVRES	bool "Managed device resources verbose debug messages"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	help	  This option enables kernel parameter devres.log. If set to	  non-zero, devres debug messages are printed. Select this if	  you are having a problem with devres or want to debug	  resource management for a managed device. devres.log can be	  switched on and off from sysfs node. 	  If you are unsure about this, Say N here. config SYS_HYPERVISOR	bool	default n config GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES	bool	default n config SOC_BUS	bool source "drivers/base/regmap/Kconfig" config DMA_SHARED_BUFFER	bool	default n	select ANON_INODES	help	  This option enables the framework for buffer-sharing between	  multiple drivers. A buffer is associated with a file using driver	  APIs extension; the file's descriptor can then be passed on to other	  driver. config DMA_CMA	bool "DMA Contiguous Memory Allocator"	depends on HAVE_DMA_CONTIGUOUS && CMA	help	  This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows drivers	  to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory for use with	  hardware components that do not support I/O map nor scatter-gather. 	  For more information see <include/linux/dma-contiguous.h>.	  If unsure, say "n". if  DMA_CMAcomment "Default contiguous memory area size:" config CMA_SIZE_MBYTES	int "Size in Mega Bytes"	depends on !CMA_SIZE_SEL_PERCENTAGE	default 16	help	  Defines the size (in MiB) of the default memory area for Contiguous	  Memory Allocator. config CMA_SIZE_PERCENTAGE	int "Percentage of total memory"	depends on !CMA_SIZE_SEL_MBYTES	default 10	help	  Defines the size of the default memory area for Contiguous Memory	  Allocator as a percentage of the total memory in the system. choice	prompt "Selected region size"	default CMA_SIZE_SEL_MBYTES config CMA_SIZE_SEL_MBYTES	bool "Use mega bytes value only" config CMA_SIZE_SEL_PERCENTAGE	bool "Use percentage value only" config CMA_SIZE_SEL_MIN	bool "Use lower value (minimum)" config CMA_SIZE_SEL_MAX	bool "Use higher value (maximum)" endchoice config CMA_ALIGNMENT	int "Maximum PAGE_SIZE order of alignment for contiguous buffers"	range 4 9	default 8	help	  DMA mapping framework by default aligns all buffers to the smallest	  PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or equal to the requested buffer	  size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but	  for larger buffers it just a memory waste. With this parameter you can	  specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for contiguous buffers. Larger	  buffers will be aligned only to this specified order. The order is	  expressed as a power of two multiplied by the PAGE_SIZE. 	  For example, if your system defaults to 4KiB pages, the order value	  of 8 means that the buffers will be aligned up to 1MiB only. 	  If unsure, leave the default value "8". config CMA_AREAS	int "Maximum count of the CMA device-private areas"	default 7	help	  CMA allows to create CMA areas for particular devices. This parameter	  sets the maximum number of such device private CMA areas in the	  system. 	  If unsure, leave the default value "7". endif endmenu
