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_BINDER_IPC_C
bool "Android Binder IPC Driver in C"
depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
default y
help
Enable the C implementation of the Android Binder IPC Driver.
See the ANDROID_BINDER_IPC config option for more details on the
Android Binder IPC driver.
If unsure, pick the C implementation.
config ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_RUST
bool "Android Binder IPC Driver in Rust"
depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC && RUST
help
Enable the Rust implementation of the Android Binder IPC Driver.
See the ANDROID_BINDER_IPC config option for more details on the
Android Binder IPC driver.
If unsure, pick the C implementation.
config ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_DEFAULT_IS_RUST
bool "Android Binder driver default implementation is Rust"
depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_RUST
default y if !ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_C
help
The kernel commandline parameter binder.impl is used to choose which
implementation of the Android Binder driver to use. This option
determines the default value of binder.impl.
If unsure, say n.
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_BINDERFS_C
bool
depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_C && ANDROID_BINDERFS
default y
config ANDROID_BINDERFS_RUST
bool
depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_RUST && ANDROID_BINDERFS
default y
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_C
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_DEBUG_KINFO
bool "Android Debug Kernel Information Support"
depends on KALLSYMS
help
This supports kernel information backup for bootloader usage.
Specifics:
- The kallsyms symbols for unwind_backtrace
- Page directory pointer
- UTS_RELEASE
- BUILD_INFO(ro.build.fingerprint)
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.
