+config TTY
+ bool "Enable TTY" if EXPERT
+ default y
+ help
+ Allows you to remove TTY support which can save space, and
+ blocks features that require TTY from inclusion in the kernel.
+ TTY is required for any text terminals or serial port
+ communication. Most users should leave this enabled.
+
+if TTY
+
+config VT
+ bool "Virtual terminal" if EXPERT
+ depends on !UML
+ select INPUT
+ default y
+ help
+ If you say Y here, you will get support for terminal devices with
+ display and keyboard devices. These are called "virtual" because you
+ can run several virtual terminals (also called virtual consoles) on
+ one physical terminal. This is rather useful, for example one
+ virtual terminal can collect system messages and warnings, another
+ one can be used for a text-mode user session, and a third could run
+ an X session, all in parallel. Switching between virtual terminals
+ is done with certain key combinations, usually Alt-<function key>.
+
+ The setterm command ("man setterm") can be used to change the
+ properties (such as colors or beeping) of a virtual terminal. The
+ man page console_codes(4) ("man console_codes") contains the special
+ character sequences that can be used to change those properties
+ directly. The fonts used on virtual terminals can be changed with
+ the setfont ("man setfont") command and the key bindings are defined
+ with the loadkeys ("man loadkeys") command.
+
+ You need at least one virtual terminal device in order to make use
+ of your keyboard and monitor. Therefore, only people configuring an
+ embedded system would want to say N here in order to save some
+ memory; the only way to log into such a system is then via a serial
+ or network connection.
+
+ If unsure, say Y, or else you won't be able to do much with your new
+ shiny Linux system :-)
+
+config CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS
+ depends on VT
+ default y
+ bool "Enable character translations in console" if EXPERT
+ help
+ This enables support for font mapping and Unicode translation
+ on virtual consoles.
+
+config VT_CONSOLE
+ bool "Support for console on virtual terminal" if EXPERT
+ depends on VT
+ default y
+ help
+ The system console is the device which receives all kernel messages
+ and warnings and which allows logins in single user mode. If you
+ answer Y here, a virtual terminal (the device used to interact with
+ a physical terminal) can be used as system console. This is the most
+ common mode of operations, so you should say Y here unless you want
+ the kernel messages be output only to a serial port (in which case
+ you should say Y to "Console on serial port", below).
+
+ If you do say Y here, by default the currently visible virtual
+ terminal (/dev/tty0) will be used as system console. You can change
+ that with a kernel command line option such as "console=tty3" which
+ would use the third virtual terminal as system console. (Try "man
+ bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or
+ loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time.)
+
+ If unsure, say Y.
+
+config VT_CONSOLE_SLEEP
+ def_bool y

+
+config HW_CONSOLE
+ bool
+ depends on VT && !UML
+ default y
+
+config VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING
+ bool "Support for binding and unbinding console drivers"
+ depends on HW_CONSOLE
+ help
+ The virtual terminal is the device that interacts with the physical
+ terminal through console drivers. On these systems, at least one
+ console driver is loaded. In other configurations, additional console
+ drivers may be enabled, such as the framebuffer console. If more than
+ 1 console driver is enabled, setting this to 'y' will allow you to
+ select the console driver that will serve as the backend for the
+ virtual terminals.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/driver-api/console.rst> for more
+ information. For framebuffer console users, please refer to
+ <file:Documentation/fb/fbcon.rst>.
+
+config UNIX98_PTYS
+ bool "Unix98 PTY support" if EXPERT
+ default y
+ 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.
+
+ All modern Linux systems use the Unix98 ptys. Say Y unless
+ you're on an embedded system and want to conserve memory.
+
+config LEGACY_PTYS
+ bool "Legacy (BSD) PTY support"
+ default y
+ 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, including
+ security. This option enables these legacy devices; on most
+ systems, it is safe to say N.
+
+config LEGACY_PTY_COUNT
+ int "Maximum number of legacy PTY in use"
+ depends on LEGACY_PTYS
+ range 0 256
+ default "256"
+ help
+ The maximum number of legacy PTYs that can be used at any one time.
+ The default is 256, and should be more than enough. Embedded
+ systems may want to reduce this to save memory.
+
+ When not in use, each legacy PTY occupies 12 bytes on 32-bit
+ architectures and 24 bytes on 64-bit architectures.
+
+config LDISC_AUTOLOAD
+ bool "Automatically load TTY Line Disciplines"
+ default y
+ help
+ Historically the kernel has always automatically loaded any
+ line discipline that is in a kernel module when a user asks
+ for it to be loaded with the TIOCSETD ioctl, or through other
+ means. This is not always the best thing to do on systems
+ where you know you will not be using some of the more
+ "ancient" line disciplines, so prevent the kernel from doing
+ this unless the request is coming from a process with the
+ CAP_SYS_MODULE permissions.
+
+ Say 'Y' here if you trust your userspace users to do the right
+ thing, or if you have only provided the line disciplines that
+ you know you will be using, or if you wish to continue to use
+ the traditional method of on-demand loading of these modules
+ by any user.
+
+ This functionality can be changed at runtime with the
+ dev.tty.ldisc_autoload sysctl, this configuration option will
+ only set the default value of this functionality.
+
+source "drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig"
+
+config SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
+ bool "Non-standard serial port support"
+ depends on HAS_IOMEM
+ help
+ Say Y here if you have any non-standard serial boards -- boards
+ which aren't supported using the standard "dumb" serial driver.
+ This includes intelligent serial boards such as Cyclades,
+ Digiboards, etc. These are usually used for systems that need many
+ serial ports because they serve many terminals or dial-in
+ connections.
+
+ Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
+ kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
+ the questions about non-standard serial boards.
+
+ Most people can say N here.
+
+config ROCKETPORT
+ tristate "Comtrol RocketPort support"
+ depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (ISA || EISA || PCI)
+ help
+ This driver supports Comtrol RocketPort and RocketModem PCI boards.
+ These boards provide 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 high-speed serial ports or
+ modems. For information about the RocketPort/RocketModem boards
+ and this driver read <file:Documentation/driver-api/serial/rocket.rst>.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called rocket.
+
+ If you want to compile this driver into the kernel, say Y here. If
+ you don't have a Comtrol RocketPort/RocketModem card installed, say N.
+
+config CYCLADES
+ tristate "Cyclades async mux support"
+ depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (PCI || ISA)
+ select FW_LOADER
+ help
+ This driver supports Cyclades Z and Y multiserial boards.
+ You would need something like this to connect more than two modems to
+ your Linux box, for instance in order to become a dial-in server.
+
+ For information about the Cyclades-Z card, read
+ <file:Documentation/driver-api/serial/cyclades_z.rst>.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called cyclades.
+
+ If you haven't heard about it, it's safe to say N.
+
+config CYZ_INTR
+ bool "Cyclades-Z interrupt mode operation"
+ depends on CYCLADES && PCI
+ help
+ The Cyclades-Z family of multiport cards allows 2 (two) driver op
+ modes: polling and interrupt. In polling mode, the driver will check
+ the status of the Cyclades-Z ports every certain amount of time
+ (which is called polling cycle and is configurable). In interrupt
+ mode, it will use an interrupt line (IRQ) in order to check the
+ status of the Cyclades-Z ports. The default op mode is polling. If
+ unsure, say N.
+
+config MOXA_INTELLIO
+ tristate "Moxa Intellio support"
+ depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (ISA || EISA || PCI)

+ module will be called moxa.
+
+config MOXA_SMARTIO
+ tristate "Moxa SmartIO support v. 2.0"
+ depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && (PCI || EISA || ISA)
+ help
+ Say Y here if you have a Moxa SmartIO multiport serial card and/or
+ want to help develop a new version of this driver.
+
+ This is upgraded (1.9.1) driver from original Moxa drivers with
+ changes finally resulting in PCI probing.
+
+ This driver can also be built as a module. The module will be called
+ mxser. If you want to do that, say M here.
+
+config SYNCLINK
+ tristate "Microgate SyncLink card support"
+ depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && PCI && ISA_DMA_API
+ help
+ Provides support for the SyncLink ISA and PCI multiprotocol serial
+ adapters. These adapters support asynchronous and HDLC bit
+ synchronous communication up to 10Mbps (PCI adapter).
+
+ This driver can only be built as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called synclink. If you want to do that, say M

+ depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD && PCI
+ help
+ Enable support for the SyncLink Multiport (2 or 4 ports)
+ serial adapter, running asynchronous and HDLC communications up

+ depends on SERIAL_NONSTANDARD
+ help
+ Allows synchronous HDLC communications with tty device drivers that
+ support synchronous HDLC such as the Microgate SyncLink adapter.
+
+ This driver can be built as a module ( = code which can be

+ depends on PPC_EPAPR_HV_BYTECHAN=y
+ help
+ Select this option to enable early console (a.k.a. "udbg") support

+ handle below.
+
+config PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_EHV_BC_HANDLE
+ int "Byte channel handle for early console (udbg)"
+ depends on PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_EHV_BC
+ default 0
+ help
+ If you want early console (udbg) output through a byte channel,
+ specify the handle of the byte channel to use.
+
+ For this to work, the byte channel driver must be compiled
+ in-kernel, not as a module.
+
+ Note that only one early console driver can be enabled, so don't
+ enable any others if you enable this one.
+
+ If the number you specify is not a valid byte channel handle, then
+ there simply will be no early console output. This is true also
+ if you don't boot under a hypervisor at all.

+ bool "MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channel TTY"
+ depends on MIPS_CDMM
+ help
+ This enables a TTY and console on the MIPS EJTAG Fast Debug Channels,
