config ANDROID
bool "Android Drivers"
help
Enable support for various drivers needed on the Android platform
if ANDROID
config ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
bool "Android Binder IPC Driver"
depends on MMU
default n
help
Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,
and remote method invocation.
This means one Android process can call a method/routine in another
Android process, using Binder to identify, invoke and pass arguments
between said processes.
config ANDROID_BINDERFS
bool "Android Binderfs filesystem"
depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
default n
help
Binderfs is a pseudo-filesystem for the Android Binder IPC driver
which can be mounted per-ipc namespace allowing to run multiple
instances of Android.
Each binderfs mount initially only contains a binder-control device.
It can be used to dynamically allocate new binder IPC devices via
ioctls.
config ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES
string "Android Binder devices"
depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
default "binder,hwbinder,vndbinder"
help
Default value for the binder.devices parameter.
The binder.devices parameter is a comma-separated list of strings
that specifies the names of the binder device nodes that will be
created. Each binder device has its own context manager, and is
therefore logically separated from the other devices.
config ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_SELFTEST
bool "Android Binder IPC Driver Selftest"
depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
help
This feature allows binder selftest to run.
Binder selftest checks the allocation and free of binder buffers
exhaustively with combinations of various buffer sizes and
alignments.
config ANDROID_DEBUG_SYMBOLS
bool "Android Debug Symbols"
help
Enables export of debug symbols that are useful for offline debugging
of a kernel. These symbols would be used in vendor modules to find
addresses of the core kernel symbols for vendor extensions.
This driver is statically compiled into kernel and maintains all the
required symbol addresses for vendor modules and provides necessary
interface vendor modules.
config ANDROID_VENDOR_HOOKS
bool "Android Vendor Hooks"
depends on TRACEPOINTS
help
Enable vendor hooks implemented as tracepoints
Allow vendor modules to attach to tracepoint "hooks" defined via
DECLARE_HOOK or DECLARE_RESTRICTED_HOOK.
config ANDROID_KABI_RESERVE
bool "Android KABI reserve padding"
default y
help
This option enables the padding that the Android GKI kernel adds
to many different kernel structures to support an in-kernel stable ABI
over the lifespan of support for the kernel.
Only disable this option if you have a system that needs the Android
kernel drivers, but is NOT an Android GKI kernel image. If disabled
it has the possibility to make the kernel static and runtime image
slightly smaller but will NOT be supported by the Google Android
kernel team.
If even slightly unsure, say Y.
config ANDROID_VENDOR_OEM_DATA
bool "Android vendor and OEM data padding"
default y
help
This option enables the padding that the Android GKI kernel adds
to many different kernel structures to support an in-kernel stable ABI
over the lifespan of support for the kernel as well as OEM additional
fields that are needed by some of the Android kernel tracepoints. The
macros enabled by this option are used to enable padding in vendor modules
used for the above specified purposes.
Only disable this option if you have a system that needs the Android
kernel drivers, but is NOT an Android GKI kernel image and you do NOT
use the Android kernel tracepoints. If disabled it has the possibility
to make the kernel static and runtime image slightly smaller but will
NOT be supported by the Google Android kernel team.
If even slightly unsure, say Y.
