11 config ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
12 bool "Android Binder IPC Driver"
16 Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,
17 and remote method invocation.
19 This means one Android process can call a method/routine in another
20 Android process, using Binder to identify, invoke and pass arguments
21 between said processes.
23 config ANDROID_BINDERFS

25 depends on ANDROID_BINDER_IPC
28 Binderfs is a pseudo-filesystem for the Android Binder IPC driver
29 which can be mounted per-ipc namespace allowing to run multiple
31 Each binderfs mount initially only contains a binder-control device.
32 It can be used to dynamically allocate new binder IPC devices via

38 default "binder,hwbinder,vndbinder"
40 Default value for the binder.devices parameter.
42 The binder.devices parameter is a comma-separated list of strings
43 that specifies the names of the binder device nodes that will be
44 created. Each binder device has its own context manager, and is
45 therefore logically separated from the other devices.
47 config ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_SELFTEST

51 This feature allows binder selftest to run.
53 Binder selftest checks the allocation and free of binder buffers
54 exhaustively with combinations of various buffer sizes and
