# SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0menu "Generic Driver Options" config AUXILIARY_BUS	bool config UEVENT_HELPER	bool "Support for uevent helper"	help	  The uevent helper program is 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. config UEVENT_HELPER_PATH	string "path to uevent helper"	depends on UEVENT_HELPER	default ""	help	  To disable user space helper program execution at by default	  specify an empty string here. This setting can still 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 rootfs 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 "Disable drivers features which enable custom firmware building"	default y	help	  Say yes to disable driver features which enable building a custom	  driver firmware at kernel build time. These drivers do not use the	  kernel firmware API to load firmware (CONFIG_FW_LOADER), instead they	  use their own custom loading mechanism. The required firmware is	  usually shipped with the driver, building the driver firmware	  should only be needed if you have an updated firmware source. 	  Firmware should not be being built as part of kernel, these days	  you should always prevent this and say Y here. There are only two	  old drivers which enable building of its firmware at kernel build	  time: 	    o CONFIG_WANXL through CONFIG_WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE	    o CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX through CONFIG_AIC79XX_BUILD_FIRMWARE source "drivers/base/firmware_loader/Kconfig" config WANT_DEV_COREDUMP	bool	help	  Drivers should "select" this option if they desire to use the	  device coredump mechanism. config ALLOW_DEV_COREDUMP	bool "Allow device coredump" if EXPERT	default y	help	  This option controls if the device coredump mechanism is available or	  not; if disabled, the mechanism will be omitted even if drivers that	  can use it are enabled.	  Say 'N' for more sensitive systems or systems that don't want	  to ever access the information to not have the code, nor keep any	  data. 	  If unsure, say Y. config DEV_COREDUMP	bool	default y if WANT_DEV_COREDUMP	depends on ALLOW_DEV_COREDUMP 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 DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE	bool "Test driver remove calls during probe (UNSTABLE)"	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL	help	  Say Y here if you want the Driver core to test driver remove functions	  by calling probe, remove, probe. This tests the remove path without	  having to unbind the driver or unload the driver module. 	  This option is expected to find errors and may render your system	  unusable. You should say N here unless you are explicitly looking to	  test this functionality. config PM_QOS_KUNIT_TEST	bool "KUnit Test for PM QoS features" if !KUNIT_ALL_TESTS	depends on KUNIT=y	default KUNIT_ALL_TESTS config HMEM_REPORTING	bool	default n	depends on NUMA	help	  Enable reporting for heterogeneous memory access attributes under	  their non-uniform memory nodes. source "drivers/base/test/Kconfig" config SYS_HYPERVISOR	bool	default n config GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES	bool	default n config GENERIC_CPU_AUTOPROBE	bool config GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES	bool config SOC_BUS	bool	select GLOB source "drivers/base/regmap/Kconfig" config DMA_SHARED_BUFFER	bool	default n	select IRQ_WORK	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_FENCE_TRACE	bool "Enable verbose DMA_FENCE_TRACE messages"	depends on DMA_SHARED_BUFFER	help	  Enable the DMA_FENCE_TRACE printks. This will add extra	  spam to the console log, but will make it easier to diagnose	  lockup related problems for dma-buffers shared across multiple	  devices. config GENERIC_ARCH_TOPOLOGY	bool	help	  Enable support for architectures common topology code: e.g., parsing	  CPU capacity information from DT, usage of such information for	  appropriate scaling, sysfs interface for reading capacity values at	  runtime. config GENERIC_ARCH_NUMA	bool	help	  Enable support for generic NUMA implementation. Currently, RISC-V	  and ARM64 use it. endmenu
