Posted: Mon Jul 02, 2018 7:29 pm Post subject: Searching for Kernel Symbol CONFIG_IPVLAN |
|
|
Hi guys,
is there any tool which displays and find all symbols and what symbol hierarchy must be enabled to display the one hidden?
I of course followed this:
https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/IPVLAN.html
And all configs required are enabled.... but still I cannot see in my .config file anything like CONFIG_IPVLAN...
I struggled this back in time, but having stable minimalistic kernels for all my hardware done (servers, laptops, workstation)... but now again, while trying to run docker on kernel-4.9.76-r1 (gentoo-sources) I cannot find and enable CONFIG_IPVLAN symbol.
Is there any tool to help me find the symbol via make make xconfig/menuconfig, etc.?
Thank you for any hint. _________________ Emperor wants to control outer space Yoda wants to explore inner space that's the fundamental difference between good and bad sides of the Force |

archenroot,
In kernel-4.17.2, it says
Code: | │ Symbol: IPVLAN [=n] │
│ Type : tristate │
│ Prompt: IP-VLAN support │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Network device support (NETDEVICES [=y]) │
│ (1) -> Network core driver support (NET_CORE [=y]) │
│ Defined at drivers/net/Kconfig:149 │
│ Depends on: NETDEVICES [=y] && NET_CORE [=y] && INET [=y] && (IPV6 [=y] || !IPV6 [=y]) && NETFILTER [=y] │
│ Selects: NET_L3_MASTER_DEV [=n] |
The search can find it, even if its hidden. Press 'z' to show all symbols. That's a toggle.
Search normally.
You can go to the option and read its help but if its marked its not selectable. _________________ Regards,

Thank you for checking on later kernel, maybe I will upgrade anyway and going to test your way.
I tried in xconfig, but without luck, the search didn't show me it, although someone elsewhere said xconfig can show even hidden symbols. _________________ Emperor wants to control outer space Yoda wants to explore inner space that's the fundamental difference between good and bad sides of the Force |

archenroot,
All the config tools except can show hidden symbols. _________________ Regards,
