Subject: [PATCH 00/10] x86: Kconfig cleanups and help text improvements
Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2022 22:28:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220228212826.27080-1-mat.jonczyk@o2.pl> (raw)
Hello,
There are some problems with the Kconfig files in the kernel. The help
text is frequently confusing and does not really describe what the
feature is about in a language that users could understand. Sometimes,
the help text was not updated after kernel or ecosystem changes.
References to something "future" or "old" are also usually given without
specifying any dates.
I have started improving the Kconfig files for x86. I'm sending the
first round of patches - what I have right now.
Greetings,
Mateusz
Mateusz Jończyk (10):
x86/Kconfig: enable X86_X2APIC by default and improve help text
x86/apic: fix panic message when x2APIC is not supported
x86/Kconfig: always enable ARCH_SPARSEMEM_ENABLE
x86/Kconfig: drop X86_32_NON_STANDARD
x86/Kconfig: move all X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM options together
x86/Kconfig: update lists in X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM
x86/Kconfig: add help text to CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG
x86/Kconfig: improve CONFIG_PCI_CNB20LE_QUIRK doc
x86/Kconfig: document year of release of glibc 2.3.3
x86/Kconfig: remove CONFIG_ISA_BUS
