4config UEVENT_HELPER
5	bool "Support for uevent helper"
6	default y
7	help
8	  The uevent helper program is forked by the kernel for
9	  every uevent.
10	  Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
11	  used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
12	  usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
13	  This should not be used today, because usual systems create
14	  many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
15	  frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
16	  that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
17	  it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.
18
19config UEVENT_HELPER_PATH
20	string "path to uevent helper"
21	depends on UEVENT_HELPER
22	default ""
23	help
24	  To disable user space helper program execution at by default
25	  specify an empty string here. This setting can still be altered
26	  via /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug or via /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
27	  later at runtime.
28
29config DEVTMPFS
30	bool "Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev"
31	help
32	  This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.
33	  In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
34	  nodes with their default names and permissions for all
35	  registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
36	  Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
37	  symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
38	  It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
39	  udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
40	  symlinks.
41	  In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
42	  functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
43	  rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.
44
45	  Notice: if CONFIG_TMPFS isn't enabled, the simpler ramfs
46	  file system will be used instead.
47
48config DEVTMPFS_MOUNT
49	bool "Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs"
50	depends on DEVTMPFS
51	help
52	  This will instruct the kernel to automatically mount the
53	  devtmpfs filesystem at /dev, directly after the kernel has
54	  mounted the root filesystem. The behavior can be overridden
55	  with the commandline parameter: devtmpfs.mount=0|1.
56	  This option does not affect initramfs based booting, here
57	  the devtmpfs filesystem always needs to be mounted manually
58	  after the rootfs is mounted.
59	  With this option enabled, it allows to bring up a system in
60	  rescue mode with init=/bin/sh, even when the /dev directory
61	  on the rootfs is completely empty.
62
63config STANDALONE
64	bool "Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware"
65	default y
66	help
67	  Select this option if you don't have magic firmware for drivers that
68	  need it.
69
70	  If unsure, say Y.
71
72config PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD
73	bool "Disable drivers features which enable custom firmware building"
74	default y
75	help
76	  Say yes to disable driver features which enable building a custom
77	  driver firmware at kernel build time. These drivers do not use the
78	  kernel firmware API to load firmware (CONFIG_FW_LOADER), instead they
79	  use their own custom loading mechanism. The required firmware is
80	  usually shipped with the driver, building the driver firmware
81	  should only be needed if you have an updated firmware source.
82
83	  Firmware should not be being built as part of kernel, these days
84	  you should always prevent this and say Y here. There are only two
85	  old drivers which enable building of its firmware at kernel build
86	  time:
87
88	    o CONFIG_WANXL through CONFIG_WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE
89	    o CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX through CONFIG_AIC79XX_BUILD_FIRMWARE

96	  Drivers should "select" this option if they desire to use the
97	  device coredump mechanism.
98
99config ALLOW_DEV_COREDUMP
100	bool "Allow device coredump" if EXPERT
101	default y
102	help
103	  This option controls if the device coredump mechanism is available or
104	  not; if disabled, the mechanism will be omitted even if drivers that
105	  can use it are enabled.
106	  Say 'N' for more sensitive systems or systems that don't want
107	  to ever access the information to not have the code, nor keep any
108	  data.
109
110	  If unsure, say Y.

117config DEBUG_DRIVER
118	bool "Driver Core verbose debug messages"
119	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
120	help
121	  Say Y here if you want the Driver core to produce a bunch of
122	  debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
123	  problem with the driver core and want to see more of what is
124	  going on.
125
126	  If you are unsure about this, say N here.
127
128config DEBUG_DEVRES
129	bool "Managed device resources verbose debug messages"
130	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
131	help
132	  This option enables kernel parameter devres.log. If set to
133	  non-zero, devres debug messages are printed. Select this if
134	  you are having a problem with devres or want to debug
135	  resource management for a managed device. devres.log can be
136	  switched on and off from sysfs node.
137
138	  If you are unsure about this, Say N here.
139
140config DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE
141	bool "Test driver remove calls during probe (UNSTABLE)"
142	depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
143	help
144	  Say Y here if you want the Driver core to test driver remove functions
145	  by calling probe, remove, probe. This tests the remove path without
146	  having to unbind the driver or unload the driver module.
147
148	  This option is expected to find errors and may render your system
149	  unusable. You should say N here unless you are explicitly looking to
150	  test this functionality.

198	  This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows drivers
199	  to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory for use with
200	  hardware components that do not support I/O map nor scatter-gather.
201
202	  You can disable CMA by specifying "cma=0" on the kernel's command

255	help
256	  DMA mapping framework by default aligns all buffers to the smallest
257	  PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or equal to the requested buffer
258	  size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
259	  for larger buffers it just a memory waste. With this parameter you can
260	  specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for contiguous buffers. Larger
261	  buffers will be aligned only to this specified order. The order is
262	  expressed as a power of two multiplied by the PAGE_SIZE.
263
264	  For example, if your system defaults to 4KiB pages, the order value
265	  of 8 means that the buffers will be aligned up to 1MiB only.
266
267	  If unsure, leave the default value "8".
