kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

2011-01-21T01:02:05+00:00

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.

ARM: Disable VGA console for ARM in most cases

2010-07-05T13:31:46+00:00

Otherwise we have to disable it manually to avoid compile errors.

Now it's only enabled only for the selected machines as suggested
by Anton Vorontsov :

$ git grep VGA_CONSOLE= arch/arm/configs/
arch/arm/configs/footbridge_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
arch/arm/configs/integrator_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
arch/arm/configs/netwinder_defconfig:CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y

Note that the Kconfig entry no longer needs separate entries
for ARCH_ACORN, ARCH_EBSA110 ARCH_VERSATILE.

console: limit the range of VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE

2010-03-06T19:26:46+00:00

BuraphaLinux reported that we will trigger a mm warning when we
CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE=65536, this is because mm cann't
allocate so many pages.  We should limit the range of
CONFIG_VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE, don't give a user any chance to
trigger that.

sparc: Kill PROM console driver.

2009-09-16T00:04:38+00:00

Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.

Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

x86 setup: remove remnants of CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT (read: vga=)

2008-09-03T21:12:39+00:00

Impact: cleanup

Video mode selection became always possible in 2.6.23-rc1 after i386 setup
code rewrite in C.

Regardless, VIDEO_SELECT is stupid config option because it affects only
kernel setup code, not code which always stays in memory.

vga= always possible now which is good.

mn10300: add the MN10300/AM33 architecture to the kernel

2008-02-08T17:22:30+00:00

Add architecture support for the MN10300/AM33 CPUs produced by MEI to the
kernel.

This patch also adds board support for the ASB2303 with the ASB2308 daughter
board, and the ASB2305.  The only processor supported is the MN103E010, which
is an AM33v2 core plus on-chip devices.

Disable VGA text console for AVR32 architecture

2008-01-25T07:31:40+00:00

This patch disables the VGA text console for AVR32 architecture since
it does not provide the vga.h include file.

AVR32 users should use framebuffer console instead if they need a
console on an attached display.

typo fixes

2007-10-19T23:34:40+00:00

Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.

Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
Kconfigs and documentation texts.

Fix font dependency for SGI Newport console driver

We better select a font when the newport driver is a module or the user
experience might suffer.
