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_ARMSTUB_DTB_LOADER
91 bool "Enable the DTB loader"
92 depends on EFI_ARMSTUB
95 Select this config option to add support for the dtb= command
96 line parameter, allowing a device tree blob to be loaded into
97 memory from the EFI System Partition by the stub.
99 If the device tree is provided by the platform or by
100 the bootloader this option may not be needed.
101 But, for various development reasons and to maintain existing
102 functionality for bootloaders that do not have such support
103 this option is necessary.
105 config EFI_BOOTLOADER_CONTROL
106 tristate "EFI Bootloader Control"
110 This module installs a reboot hook, such that if reboot() is
111 invoked with a string argument NNN, "NNN" is copied to the
112 "LoaderEntryOneShot" EFI variable, to be read by the
113 bootloader. If the string matches one of the boot labels
114 defined in its configuration, the bootloader will boot once
115 to that label. The "LoaderEntryRebootReason" EFI variable is
116 set with the reboot reason: "reboot" or "shutdown". The
117 bootloader reads this reboot reason and takes particular
118 action according to its policy.
120 config EFI_CAPSULE_LOADER
121 tristate "EFI capsule loader"
124 This option exposes a loader interface "/dev/efi_capsule_loader" for
125 users to load EFI capsules. This driver requires working runtime
126 capsule support in the firmware, which many OEMs do not provide.
128 Most users should say N.
130 config EFI_CAPSULE_QUIRK_QUARK_CSH
131 bool "Add support for Quark capsules with non-standard headers"
132 depends on X86 && !64BIT
133 select EFI_CAPSULE_LOADER
136 Add support for processing Quark X1000 EFI capsules, whose header
137 layout deviates from the layout mandated by the UEFI specification.
140 tristate "EFI Runtime Service Tests Support"
144 This driver uses the efi.<service> function pointers directly instead
145 of going through the efivar API, because it is not trying to test the
146 kernel subsystem, just for testing the UEFI runtime service
147 interfaces which are provided by the firmware. This driver is used
148 by the Firmware Test Suite (FWTS) for testing the UEFI runtime
149 interfaces readiness of the firmware.
150 Details for FWTS are available from:
151 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirmwareTestSuite>
153 Say Y here to enable the runtime services support via /dev/efi_test.
156 config APPLE_PROPERTIES
157 bool "Apple Device Properties"
158 depends on EFI_STUB && X86
159 select EFI_DEV_PATH_PARSER
162 Retrieve properties from EFI on Apple Macs and assign them to
163 devices, allowing for improved support of Apple hardware.
164 Properties that would otherwise be missing include the
165 Thunderbolt Device ROM and GPU configuration data.
167 If unsure, say Y if you have a Mac. Otherwise N.
169 config RESET_ATTACK_MITIGATION
170 bool "Reset memory attack mitigation"
173 Request that the firmware clear the contents of RAM after a reboot
174 using the TCG Platform Reset Attack Mitigation specification. This
175 protects against an attacker forcibly rebooting the system while it
176 still contains secrets in RAM, booting another OS and extracting the
177 secrets. This should only be enabled when userland is configured to
178 clear the MemoryOverwriteRequest flag on clean shutdown after secrets
179 have been evicted, since otherwise it will trigger even on clean
