	  efivarfs is a replacement filesystem for the old EFI
	  variable support via sysfs, as it doesn't suffer from the
	  same 1024-byte variable size limit.

	  To compile this file system support as a module, choose M
	  here. The module will be called efivarfs.

	  If unsure, say N.

efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfs Now that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c and into fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow us to enable the efivarfs code without having to also enable CONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa. Furthermore, things like, mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring the use of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when the efivarfs code was part of efivars.c.

efi: split efisubsystem from efivars This registers /sys/firmware/efi/{,systab,efivars/} whenever EFI is enabled and the system is booted with EFI. This allows ) userspace to check for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi as a way to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system. ) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually loading any modules. [ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it. This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs to be built without CONFIG_EFI_VARS - Matt ] Cc: Seiji Aguchi <seiji.aguchi@hds.com> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Mike Waychison <mikew@google.com> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Cc: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Cc: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> Cc: Chun-Yi Lee <jlee@suse.com> Cc: Andy Whitcroft <apw@canonical.com> Cc: Tobias Powalowski <tpowa@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen <teg@jklm.no> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> 2013-02-08 19:37:06 +04:00			`depends on EFI`
fs: Make efivarfs a pseudo filesystem, built by default with EFI efivars is currently enabled under MISC_FILESYSTEMS, which is decribed as "such as filesystems that came from other operating systems". In reality, it is a pseudo filesystem, providing access to the kernel UEFI variable interface. Since this is the preferred interface for accessing UEFI variables, over the legacy efivars interface, also build it by default as a module if CONFIG_EFI.
