Subject: [Ksummit-discuss] [TECH TOPIC] is Kconfig a bit hard sometimes?
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2017 22:58:39 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170627135839.GB1886@jagdpanzerIV.localdomain> (raw)
Hello,
am I the only one who struggle with the Kconfig sometimes? can there
be a way to make it more general/simpler, in some parts at least? e.g.
the hardening effort? (just an example. *ABSOLUTELY NOT* blaming Kess
or anyone else who is involved, that's not the point, they are doing
great job, no doubt. it's just the most recent thing I saw was
CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT). do people who really want to harden their
kernels go all-in anyway (enable all of the options at once)? if so,
can there be a single Kconfig option then? just curious.
