19 Benchmark all available RAID6 PQ functions on init and choose the
23 bool "Generic bitfield packing and unpacking"
26 This option provides the packing() helper function, which permits
27 converting bitfields between a CPU-usable representation and a
28 memory representation that can have any combination of these quirks:
29 - Is little endian (bytes are reversed within a 32-bit group)
30 - The least-significant 32-bit word comes first (within a 64-bit
32 - The most significant bit of a byte is at its right (bit 0 of a
33 register description is numerically 2^7).
34 Drivers may use these helpers to match the bit indices as described
35 in the data sheets of the peripherals they are in control of.

48 architectures which support such operations.

84 bool "Access I/O in non-MMIO mode"
87 On some platforms where no separate I/O space exists, there are I/O
88 hosts which can not be accessed in MMIO mode. Using the logical PIO
89 mechanism, the host-local I/O resource can be mapped into system
90 logic PIO space shared with MMIO hosts, such as PCI/PCIe, then the
91 system can access the I/O devices with the mapped-logic PIO through
94 This way has relatively little I/O performance cost. Please make
95 sure your devices really need this configure item enabled.
100 tristate "CRC-CCITT functions"
102 This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree
103 modules require CRC-CCITT functions, but a module built outside
104 the kernel tree does. Such modules that use library CRC-CCITT
105 functions require M here.

120 This option is only needed if a module that's not in the
121 kernel tree needs to calculate CRC checks for use with the
122 SCSI data integrity subsystem.

146 This option enables the CRC32 library functions to perform a
147 self test on initialization. The self test computes crc32_le
148 and crc32_be over byte strings with random alignment and length
149 and computes the total elapsed time and number of bytes processed.

156 This option allows a kernel builder to override the default choice
157 of CRC32 algorithm. Choose the default ("slice by 8") unless you
158 know that you need one of the others.
160 config CRC32_SLICEBY8
161 bool "Slice by 8 bytes"

164 This is the fastest algorithm, but comes with a 8KiB lookup table.

168 This is the default implementation choice. Choose this one unless
169 you have a good reason not to.

172 bool "Slice by 4 bytes"
174 Calculate checksum 4 bytes at a time with a clever slicing algorithm.
175 This is a bit slower than slice by 8, but has a smaller 4KiB lookup
178 Only choose this option if you know what you are doing.
181 bool "Sarwate's Algorithm (one byte at a time)"
183 Calculate checksum a byte at a time using Sarwate's algorithm. This
184 is not particularly fast, but has a small 256 byte lookup table.
186 Only choose this option if you know what you are doing.
189 bool "Classic Algorithm (one bit at a time)"
191 Calculate checksum one bit at a time. This is VERY slow, but has
192 no lookup table. This is provided as a debugging option.
194 Only choose this option if you are debugging crc32.

372 Drivers may select this option to force specific constant
373 values for parameters 'm' (Galois field order) and 't'
374 (error correction capability). Those specific values must
375 be set by declaring default values for symbols BCH_CONST_M
377 Doing so will enable extra compiler optimizations,
378 improving encoding and decoding performance up to 2x for
379 usual (m,t) values (typically such that m*t < 200).
380 When this option is selected, the BCH library supports
381 only a single (m,t) configuration. This is mainly useful
382 for NAND flash board drivers requiring known, fixed BCH
389 Constant value for Galois field order 'm'. If 'k' is the
390 number of data bits to protect, 'm' should be chosen such
391 that (k + m*t) <= 2**m - 1.
392 Drivers should declare a default value for this symbol if
393 they select option BCH_CONST_PARAMS.

501 to blacklist particular drive models, but other device drivers
502 may need similar functionality.
