Subject: [PATCH] xen/privcmd: make option visible in Kconfig
Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2021 09:38:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211113083821.71060-1-linux@weissschuh.net> (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.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net>

Note: If CONFIG_XEN_PRIVCMD really is only meant to be selected by
XENFS, then the issue can be fixed by removing its "default m"
definition.
