Question about Kconfig

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all:
I have read the kconfig-language.txt located at
kernel/Documentation/kbuild/, but I still cannot figure out what it
means.

Take below as example:
> config ARCH_IOP3XX
> 	bool "IOP3xx-based"
> 	select PCI
> config ARCH_IXP4XX
> 	bool "IXP4xx-based"
> 	select DMABOUNCE
> 	select PCI
Q: if the PCI above is Boolean type, how do we explain "If <symbol> is
selected multiple times, the limit is set to the largest selection."?
What does the limit mean?
Boolean doesn't seem have limit.

Take below as example:
> config NR_CPUS
> 	int "Maximum number of CPUs (2-32)"
> 	range 2 32
> 	depends on SMP
> 	default "4"
> Does that mean the value of SMP will decrease?

Q: how can we explain "normal dependencies reduce the upper limit of a symbol"?
What is the limit in above 2 questions mean?
Thanks for your help,
vichy
