sound/sound_core.c implements soundcore.ko and contains two parts - sound_class which is shared by both ALSA and OSS and device redirection support for OSS. It's always compiled when any sound support is enabled although it's necessary only when OSS (the actual one or emulation) is enabled. This is slightly wasteful and as device redirection always registers character device region for major 14, it prevents alternative implementation. This patch introduces a new config SOUND_OSS_CORE which is selected iff OSS support is actually necessary and build the OSS core part conditionally. If OSS is disabled, soundcore merely contains sound_class but leaving it that way seems to be the simplest approach as otherwise sound_class should be in ALSA core file if OSS is disabled but should be in soundcore if OSS is enabled. Also, there's also the user confusion factor. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>

bool "Unix98 PTY support"

help
|
|
A pseudo terminal (PTY) is a software device consisting of two
|
|
halves: a master and a slave. The slave device behaves identical to
|
|
a physical terminal; the master device is used by a process to
|
|
read data from and write data to the slave, thereby emulating a
|
|
terminal. Typical programs for the master side are telnet servers
|
|
and xterms.
|
|
|
|
Linux has traditionally used the BSD-like names /dev/ptyxx for
|
|
masters and /dev/ttyxx for slaves of pseudo terminals. This scheme
|
|
has a number of problems. The GNU C library glibc 2.1 and later,
|
|
however, supports the Unix98 naming standard: in order to acquire a
|
|
pseudo terminal, a process opens /dev/ptmx; the number of the pseudo
|
|
terminal is then made available to the process and the pseudo
|
|
terminal slave can be accessed as /dev/pts/<number>. What was
|
|
traditionally /dev/ttyp2 will then be /dev/pts/2, for example.
|
|
|
|
All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless
|
|
you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.

This option enables UML's "hardware" random number generator. It

attaches itself to the host's /dev/random, supplying as much entropy
|

as the host has, rather than the small amount the UML gets from its

own drivers. It registers itself as a standard hardware random number

|
generator, major 10, minor 183, and the canonical device name is
|
|
/dev/hwrng.
|
|
The way to make use of this is to install the rng-tools package
|
|
(check your distro, or download from
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/). rngd periodically reads
|
|
/dev/hwrng and injects the entropy into /dev/random.
