5 tristate "EFI Variable Support via sysfs"
9 If you say Y here, you are able to get EFI (Extensible Firmware
10 Interface) variable information via sysfs. You may read,
11 write, create, and destroy EFI variables through this interface.
13 Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
14 at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
16 <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>
18 Subsequent efibootmgr releases may be found at:

23 depends on EFI && !IA64
26 config EFI_VARS_PSTORE
27 tristate "Register efivars backend for pstore"
28 depends on EFI_VARS && PSTORE
31 Say Y here to enable use efivars as a backend to pstore. This
32 will allow writing console messages, crash dumps, or anything
33 else supported by pstore to EFI variables.
35 config EFI_VARS_PSTORE_DEFAULT_DISABLE
36 bool "Disable using efivars as a pstore backend by default"
37 depends on EFI_VARS_PSTORE
40 Saying Y here will disable the use of efivars as a storage
41 backend for pstore by default. This setting can be overridden
42 using the efivars module's pstore_disable parameter.
44 config EFI_RUNTIME_MAP
45 bool "Export efi runtime maps to sysfs"
46 depends on X86 && EFI && KEXEC_CORE
49 Export efi runtime memory maps to /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map.
50 That memory map is used for example by kexec to set up efi virtual
51 mapping the 2nd kernel, but can also be used for debugging purposes.
53 See also Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-efi-runtime-map.
55 config EFI_FAKE_MEMMAP
56 bool "Enable EFI fake memory map"
60 Saying Y here will enable "efi_fake_mem" boot option.
61 By specifying this parameter, you can add arbitrary attribute
62 to specific memory range by updating original (firmware provided)
64 This is useful for debugging of EFI memmap related feature.
65 e.g. Address Range Mirroring feature.
67 config EFI_MAX_FAKE_MEM
68 int "maximum allowable number of ranges in efi_fake_mem boot option"
69 depends on EFI_FAKE_MEMMAP
73 Maximum allowable number of ranges in efi_fake_mem boot option.
74 Ranges can be set up to this value using comma-separated list.
75 The default value is 8.
77 config EFI_PARAMS_FROM_FDT
80 Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig if
81 the EFI runtime support gets system table address, memory
82 map address, and other parameters from the device tree.
84 config EFI_RUNTIME_WRAPPERS
90 config EFI_BOOTLOADER_CONTROL
91 tristate "EFI Bootloader Control"
95 This module installs a reboot hook, such that if reboot() is
96 invoked with a string argument NNN, "NNN" is copied to the
97 "LoaderEntryOneShot" EFI variable, to be read by the
98 bootloader. If the string matches one of the boot labels
99 defined in its configuration, the bootloader will boot once
100 to that label. The "LoaderEntryRebootReason" EFI variable is
101 set with the reboot reason: "reboot" or "shutdown". The
102 bootloader reads this reboot reason and takes particular
103 action according to its policy.
105 config EFI_CAPSULE_LOADER
106 tristate "EFI capsule loader"
109 This option exposes a loader interface "/dev/efi_capsule_loader" for
110 users to load EFI capsules. This driver requires working runtime
111 capsule support in the firmware, which many OEMs do not provide.
113 Most users should say N.
116 tristate "EFI Runtime Service Tests Support"
120 This driver uses the efi.<service> function pointers directly instead
121 of going through the efivar API, because it is not trying to test the
122 kernel subsystem, just for testing the UEFI runtime service
123 interfaces which are provided by the firmware. This driver is used
124 by the Firmware Test Suite (FWTS) for testing the UEFI runtime
125 interfaces readiness of the firmware.
126 Details for FWTS are available from:
127 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirmwareTestSuite>
129 Say Y here to enable the runtime services support via /dev/efi_test.
132 config APPLE_PROPERTIES
133 bool "Apple Device Properties"
134 depends on EFI_STUB && X86
135 select EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER
138 Retrieve properties from EFI on Apple Macs and assign them to
139 devices, allowing for improved support of Apple hardware.
140 Properties that would otherwise be missing include the
141 Thunderbolt Device ROM and GPU configuration data.
143 If unsure, say Y if you have a Mac. Otherwise N.
150 config EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER
