- Drop the -desktop flavors and merge these settings back to
  i386/pae and x86_64/default, respectively:
  - CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
  - vm.dirty_ratio=20
  The builtin driver choices of the desktop configs were discarded
  and CONFIG_HZ is 250 (fate#319416).

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 13 14:58:32 CET 2015 - jdelvare@suse.de

- On x86 and ppc*:
  - CONFIG_I2C_SLAVE=n
  There is currently no known use case for this feature on these
  architectures, and it has a small build time and size cost.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 23 10:04:27 UTC 2014 - ddiss@suse.com

- cifs.ko is currently built with support for the base SMB1/CIFS
  dialect only. SMB1/CIFS support can be disabled in Windows 8.1
  and Windows Server 2012 R2, and is completely unsupported with
  the Microsoft Azure File service, leaving cifs.ko users unable
  to access files on such servers without this change
  (fate#317480).
  - CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2=y

-------------------------------------------------------------------

-  The generic thermal module is used by several ACPI components
   (processor, fan, thermal and video) and a few other drivers. So
   in practice it will end up being loaded on almost all systems
   which support ACPI. It is small so build it into the kernel to
   improve boot speed on all ACPI-enabled architectures (i386,
   x86_64 and ia64.)
   - CONFIG_THERMAL=y

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Feb 28 18:38:01 CET 2014 - jdelvare@suse.de

- The msr driver creates /dev/cpu/*/msr through which you can poke
  at all the MSRs if you have CAP_SYS_RAWIO. We prefer to be able
  to remove that module if it is not needed.
  - CONFIG_X86_MSR=m

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Feb 25 11:44:55 CET 2014 - jdelvare@suse.de

- systemd requires autofs, so autofs4.ko will always be loaded on
  boot. For performance reasons, it makes sense to build it into
  the kernel (bnc#863771).
  - CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS=y

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jan  9 14:38:52 CET 2014 - jdelvare@suse.de

- Forcing module unloading can't lead to anything good. If
  reference counting is wrong then it should be fixed. If the
  reference count is right and a regular (unforced) unloading
  doesn't work, then a forced unloading can only lead to chaos and
  ultimately a kernel crash.
  - CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=n

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan  6 15:06:59 CET 2014 - jdelvare@suse.de

- Disable old VIA I2C bus driver. No 64-bit system would need it.
  - CONFIG_I2C_VIA=n

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 30 14:34:41 UTC 2013 - mmarek@suse.cz

- Do not build udlfb, to avoid conflict with udl (fate#316407)
  CONFIG_FB_UDL=n

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Sep 30 12:39:40 UTC 2013 - mmarek@suse.cz

- */debug: enable fscache debugging.
  - CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG=y
  - CONFIG_CACHEFILES_DEBUG=y

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue May 14 12:56:50 CEST 2013 - jdelvare@suse.de

- All but armv7hl/cubox: make PHYLIB modular. Most systems don't
  need it, and it registers a mdio_bus driver. As a side effect,
  we have to disable PHY emulation support, as it is only availble
  when PHYLIB is built-in. This driver is rather weird anyway and
  hopefully no system we want to support needs it, so it should be
  OK.
  - CONFIG_PHYLIB=m
  - CONFIG_FIXED_PHY=n
  - CONFIG_OF_MDIO=m (for configs which have CONFIG_OF=y)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sun May  5 09:53:46 CEST 2013 - jdelvare@suse.de

- All other major Linux distributions are building their kernel
  with -fstack-protector, so do the same. See the discussion at:
  http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2012-06/msg00088.html
  http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2012-07/msg00000.html
  http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kernel/2013-05/msg00013.html
  - CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr  5 13:50:12 CEST 2013 - jdelvare@suse.de

- All kernels which include core (MFD) support for the ViperBoard
  should also include the actual drivers for its functions:
  - CONFIG_I2C_VIPERBOARD=m
  - CONFIG_GPIO_VIPERBOARD=m

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Apr  5 13:40:41 CEST 2013 - jdelvare@suse.de

- All but arm: disable UCB1400 support. Currently it is only used
  on ARM OMAP systems, and part of the code is dead code that can't
  even be modularized.
  - CONFIG_UCB1400_CORE=n
  - CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_UCB1400=n
  - CONFIG_GPIO_UCB1400=n

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sat Mar 30 13:16:21 CET 2013 - jdelvare@suse.de

- DSA drivers can be built as modules since kernel v3.3, so do
  that:
  - CONFIG_NET_DSA=m
  - CONFIG_NET_DSA_MV88E6XXX=m
  - CONFIG_NET_DSA_MV88E6060=m
  - CONFIG_NET_DSA_MV88E6131=m
  - CONFIG_NET_DSA_MV88E6123_61_65=m

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Mar 29 14:57:15 CET 2013 - jdelvare@suse.de

- CONFIG_I2C_COMPAT=n
  Disable compatibility with lm-sensors <= 3.1.1, version 3.1.2 was
  released 3 years ago.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jun 14 16:50:35 CEST 2010 - jbeulich@suse.com

- {i386,x86_64}/*: ATA_PIIX=m.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Dec 13 13:32:40 UTC 2011 - agraf@suse.com

- CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW=n on PPC
  PPC was diverging from other archs in this option, needlessly
  slowing down the system and adding needless kernel messages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tue Jun 21 11:38:10 UTC 2011 - mmarek@novell.com

- Updated to 3.0-rc4:
  - USB_NET_KALMIA=m
  - BACKLIGHT_ADP8870=m

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Jan 21 02:35:17 CET 2011 - trenn@suse.de

- CONFIG_EVENT_POWER_TRACING_DEPRECATED=y
  power:power_start/end tracing events got replace by power:cpu_idle
  Let's still throw the old ones as well for a while to stay
  compatible with current userspace tools.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Jan 10 15:31:41 CET 2011 - jeffm@suse.de

Tue May 25 12:20:47 CEST 2010 - jbeulich@novell.com

- XEN_DEV_EVTCHN=m for both -xen flavors (-ec2 already have this)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu May 20 21:30:17 CEST 2010 - jeffm@suse.de

- Disabled CONFIG_RT2800PCI (bnc#606243)
  - These devices are handled by the rt2860 staging driver.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wed Apr 28 10:34:23 CEST 2010 - trenn@suse.de

- Update config files.
  Unify X86_MSR and X86_CPUID configs:
    - CONFIG_X86_CPUID=m
    - CONFIG_X86_MSR=y
  for all i386 and x86_64 flavors.
- Update -ec2 config files (X86_MSR=m again).

MSRs are more and more used by userspace on X86. Unify all configs
  to =y.
  On -ec2 MSR access is restricted and not that important -> =m
  CPUID is not useful as it can be called in userspace as well, but
  some userspace progs may still need it -> =m

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 26 15:39:13 CEST 2010 - jeffm@suse.de

- Disabled CONFIG_TUNE_CELL on ppc64 (bnc#599045)
  - gcc 4.5 appears to issue invalid instructions, but even if
    that is not the case or the issue is fixed, it was an optimization
    for the cell processor that will most likely not be used
    on most hardware.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Mon Apr 26 03:07:40 CEST 2010 - jeffm@suse.de
