Subject: [PATCH] xen/privcmd: make option visible in Kconfig
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2021 15:33:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211116143323.18866-1-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
This configuration option provides a misc device as an API to userspace.
Make this API usable without having to select the module as a transitive
dependency.
This also fixes an issue where localyesconfig would select
CONFIG_XEN_PRIVCMD=m because it was not visible and defaulted to
building as module.
