drivers/char/Kconfig:
config HPET_MMAP bool "Allow mmap of HPET" default y depends on HPET help If you say Y here, user applications will be able to mmap the HPET registers.
In some hardware implementations, the page containing HPET registers may also contain other things that shouldn't be exposed to the user. If this applies to your hardware, say N here. -- Marcello Barnaba - SoftMedia S.c.r.l. :: Mobile: +39 (340) 3698342 Via Mauro Amoruso, 11 - 70124 Bari :: Phone: +39 (080) 5046314 pub 1024D/F04476A2 :: 6807 EEA5 7F97 AC9A D8EF AE73 64CD 71A2 F044 76A2 [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
