The generic kernel should build this driver statically to make sure we properly support these platforms. [Test case] Boot the Ubuntu generic kernel on a system that is using the "mid" serial driver (e.g, no PCI serial). [Fix] Enable CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MID=y. [Regression potential] Kernel footprint is increased a bit with this change (around +9K), so we may see little performance regressions at boot time in really small platforms (additional memory usage is probably negligible), but it is worth it, otherwise we won't be able to properly support these platforms. NOTE: we may want to disable this option in the could kernels and derivatives and keep it only for the generic. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Andrea Righi (1): UBUNTU: [Config] enable CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_MID=y debian.master/config/annotations | 5 ++++- debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- kernel-team mailing list <a href="mailto:kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kernel-team" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kernel-team</a> </blockquote></div></div>
