4 bool "Android Drivers"
5 default N
6 ---help---
7 Enable support for various drivers needed on the Android platform

11config ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
12 bool "Android Binder IPC Driver"
13 depends on MMU
14 default n
15 ---help---
16 Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,
17 and remote method invocation.
18
19 This means one Android process can call a method/routine in another
20 Android process, using Binder to identify, invoke and pass arguments
21 between said processes.

23config ASHMEM
24 bool "Enable the Anonymous Shared Memory Subsystem"
25 default n
26 depends on SHMEM
27 ---help---
28 The ashmem subsystem is a new shared memory allocator, similar to
29 POSIX SHM but with different behavior and sporting a simpler
30 file-based API.
31
32 It is, in theory, a good memory allocator for low-memory devices,
33 because it can discard shared memory units when under memory pressure.
34
35config ANDROID_LOGGER
36 tristate "Android log driver"
37 default n
38 ---help---
39 This adds support for system-wide logging using four log buffers.
40
41 These are:
42
43 1: main
44 2: events
45 3: radio
46 4: system
47
48 Log reading and writing is performed via normal Linux reads and
49 optimized writes. This optimization avoids logging having too
50 much overhead in the system.

53 bool "Timed output class driver"
54 default y

56config ANDROID_TIMED_GPIO
57 tristate "Android timed gpio driver"
58 depends on GPIOLIB && ANDROID_TIMED_OUTPUT
59 default n

61config ANDROID_LOW_MEMORY_KILLER
62 bool "Android Low Memory Killer"
63 default N
64 ---help---
65 Registers processes to be killed when memory is low
66
67config ANDROID_INTF_ALARM_DEV
68 bool "Android alarm driver"
69 depends on RTC_CLASS
70 default n
71 ---help---
72 Provides non-wakeup and rtc backed wakeup alarms based on rtc or
73 elapsed realtime, and a non-wakeup alarm on the monotonic clock.
74 Also exports the alarm interface to user-space.
75
76config SYNC
77 bool "Synchronization framework"
78 default n
79 select ANON_INODES
80 ---help---
81 This option enables the framework for synchronization between multiple
82 drivers. Sync implementations can take advantage of hardware
83 synchronization built into devices like GPUs.
84
85config SW_SYNC
86 bool "Software synchronization objects"
87 default n
88 depends on SYNC
89 ---help---
90 A sync object driver that uses a 32bit counter to coordinate
91 syncrhronization. Useful when there is no hardware primitive backing
92 the synchronization.
93
94config SW_SYNC_USER
95 bool "Userspace API for SW_SYNC"
96 default n
97 depends on SW_SYNC
98 ---help---
99 Provides a user space API to the sw sync object.
100 *WARNING* improper use of this can result in deadlocking kernel
101 drivers from userspace.
