linux-toradex.git/drivers/firmware/Kconfig, branch v3.2.55 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules efivars: Add module parameter to disable use as a pstore backend 2013-03-27T02:41:20+00:00 Seth Forshee seth.forshee@canonical.com 2013-03-11T21:17:50+00:00 a1e16e8184d48763a7036a672e44998e4d3fe182 commit ec0971ba5372a4dfa753f232449d23a8fd98490e upstream. We know that with some firmware implementations writing too much data to UEFI variables can lead to bricking machines. Recent changes attempt to address this issue, but for some it may still be prudent to avoid writing large amounts of data until the solution has been proven on a wide variety of hardware. Crash dumps or other data from pstore can potentially be a large data source. Add a pstore_module parameter to efivars to allow disabling its use as a backend for pstore. Also add a config option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE, to allow setting the default value of this paramter to true (i.e. disabled by default).

commit ec0971ba5372a4dfa753f232449d23a8fd98490e upstream.

We know that with some firmware implementations writing too much data to
UEFI variables can lead to bricking machines. Recent changes attempt to
address this issue, but for some it may still be prudent to avoid
writing large amounts of data until the solution has been proven on a
wide variety of hardware.

Crash dumps or other data from pstore can potentially be a large data
source. Add a pstore_module parameter to efivars to allow disabling its
use as a backend for pstore. Also add a config option,
CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE, to allow setting the default
value of this paramter to true (i.e. disabled by default).

Add a new option, CONFIG_EFI_VARS_PSTORE, which can be set to N to avoid using efivars as a backend to pstore, as some users may want to compile out the code completely.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT 2011-01-21T01:02:05+00:00 David Rientjes rientjes@google.com 2011-01-20T22:44:16+00:00 6a108a14fa356ef607be308b68337939e56ea94e The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.
