[PATCH 3/3] arm64: configs: Add virtconfig

Mark Brown broonie at kernel.org
Fri Feb 10 11:52:49 PST 2023


Provide a slimline configuration intended to be booted on virtual
machines, with the goal of providing a light configuration which will
boot on and enable features available in mach-virt.  This is defined in
terms of the standard defconfig, with an additional virt.config fragment
which disables options unneeded in a virtual configuration.

As a first step we just disable all the ARCH_ configuration options,
disabling the build of all the SoC specific drivers.  This results in a
kernel that builds about 25% faster in my testing, if this approach
works for people we can add further options.
