      rcu: Make SRCU optional by using CONFIG_SRCU · 83fe27ea
      Pranith Kumar 提交于
      SRCU is not necessary to be compiled by default in all cases. For tinification
      efforts not compiling SRCU unless necessary is desirable.
      
      The current patch tries to make compiling SRCU optional by introducing a new
      Kconfig option CONFIG_SRCU which is selected when any of the components making
      use of SRCU are selected.
      
      If we do not select CONFIG_SRCU, srcu.o will not be compiled at all.

      so the savings are about ~2000 bytes.

      virtio: expose for non-virtualization users too · e7254219
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      virtio has been so far used only in the context of virtualization,
      and the virtio Kconfig was sourced directly by the relevant arch
      Kconfigs when VIRTUALIZATION was selected.
      
      Now that we start using virtio for inter-processor communications,
      we need to source the virtio Kconfig outside of the virtualization
      scope too.
      
      Moreover, some architectures might use virtio for both virtualization
      and inter-processor communications, so directly sourcing virtio
      might yield unexpected results due to conflicting selections.
      
      The simple solution offered by this patch is to always source virtio's
      Kconfig in drivers/Kconfig, and remove it from the appropriate arch
      Kconfigs. Additionally, a virtio menu entry has been added so virtio
      drivers don't show up in the general drivers menu.
      
      This way anyone can use virtio, though it's arguably less accessible
      (and neat!) for virtualization users now.
      
      Note: some architectures (mips and sh) seem to have a VIRTUALIZATION
      menu merely for sourcing virtio's Kconfig, so that menu is removed too.
