Hi all, A recent thread [1] has exposed a couple of issues with our current way of handling EXPERT. 1) It is not obvious that "Configure standard Xen features (expert users)" is actually the famous EXPERT we keep talking about on xen-devel 2) It is not obvious when we need to enable EXPERT to get a specific feature In particular if you want to enable ACPI support so that you can boot Xen on an ACPI platform, you have to enable EXPERT first. But searching through the kconfig menu it is really not clear (type '/' and "ACPI"): nothing in the description tells you that you need to enable EXPERT to get the option. This series makes things easier by doing the following: - introduce a new kconfig option UNSUPPORTED which is clearly to enable UNSUPPORTED features as defined by SUPPORT.md - change EXPERT options to UNSUPPORTED where it makes sense: keep depending on EXPERT for features made for experts - tag unsupported features by adding (UNSUPPORTED) to the one-line description - clarify the EXPERT one-line description [1] https://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=160333101228981 Cheers, Stefano Stefano Stabellini (2): xen: EXPERT clean-up and introduce UNSUPPORTED xen: add (EXPERT) to one-line description of XEN_SHSTK xen/Kconfig | 11 ++++++++++- xen/arch/arm/Kconfig | 6 +++--- xen/arch/x86/Kconfig | 8 ++++---- xen/common/Kconfig | 2 +- xen/common/sched/Kconfig | 6 +++--- 5 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)
