Subject: config SYSCTL_SYSCALL
Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 16:59:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <453519EE.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> (raw)
What is the purpose of
config SYSCTL_SYSCALL
bool "Sysctl syscall support" if EMBEDDED
default n
Allowing only embedded to turn this *on* ? Normally, you want
embedded to have more freedom in turning stuff off, so this
looks odd to me (and on one of my older boxes I definitely have
at least one OS-provided tool that uses this syscall, so I'd like
to be able to turn it on.
Thanks for an explanation,
Jan
