config UNIX98_PTYS
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.
The entries in /dev/pts/ are created on the fly by a virtual
file system; therefore, if you say Y here you should say Y to
"/dev/pts file system for Unix98 PTYs" as well.
If you want to say Y here, you need to have the C library glibc 2.1
or later (equal to libc-6.1, check with "ls -l /lib/libc.so.*").
Read the instructions in <file:Documentation/Changes> pertaining to
pseudo terminals. It's safe to say N.
config UNIX98_PTY_COUNT
int "Maximum number of Unix98 PTYs in use (0-2048)"
depends on UNIX98_PTYS
default "256"
help
The maximum number of Unix98 PTYs that can be used at any one time.
The default is 256, and should be enough for desktop systems. Server
machines which support incoming telnet/rlogin/ssh connections and/or
serve several X terminals may want to increase this: every incoming
connection and every xterm uses up one PTY.
When not in use, each additional set of 256 PTYs occupy
approximately 8 KB of kernel memory on 32-bit architectures.

help
The hangcheck-timer module detects when the system has gone
out to lunch past a certain margin. It can reboot the system
or merely print a warning.

config SCLP_CPI
tristate "Control-Program Identification"
depends on SCLP
help
This option enables the hardware console interface for system
identification. This is commonly used for workload management and
gives you a nice name for the system on the service element.
Please select this option as a module since built-in operation is
completely untested.
You should only select this option if you know what you are doing,
need this feature and intend to run your kernel in LPAR.
config S390_TAPE
tristate "S/390 tape device support"
help
Select this option if you want to access channel-attached tape
devices on IBM S/390 or zSeries.
If you select this option you will also want to select at
least one of the tape interface options and one of the tape
hardware options in order to access a tape device.
This option is also available as a module. The module will be
called tape390 and include all selected interfaces and
hardware drivers.

Select this option if you want to access your channel-attached tape
devices using the block device interface. This interface is similar
to CD-ROM devices on other platforms. The tapes can only be
accessed read-only when using this interface. Have a look at
<file:Documentation/s390/TAPE> for further information about creating
volumes for and using this interface. It is safe to say "Y" here.
