+config VCAP
+ bool "VCAP (Versatile Content-Aware Processor) library"
+ help
+ Provides the basic VCAP functionality for multiple Microchip switchcores
+
+ A VCAP is essentially a TCAM with rules consisting of
+
+ - Programmable key fields
+ - Programmable action fields
+ - A counter (which may be only one bit wide)
+
+ Besides this each VCAP has:
+
+ - A number of lookups
+ - A keyset configuration per port per lookup
+
+ The VCAP implementation provides switchcore independent handling of rules
+ and supports:
+
+ - Creating and deleting rules
+ - Updating and getting rules
+
+ The platform specific configuration as well as the platform specific model
+ of the VCAP instances are attached to the VCAP API and a client can then
+ access rules via the API in a platform independent way, with the
+ limitations that each VCAP has in terms of its supported keys and actions.
+
+ Different switchcores will have different VCAP instances with different
+ characteristics. Look in the datasheet for the VCAP specifications for the
+ specific switchcore.
+
+config VCAP_KUNIT_TEST
+ bool "KUnit test for VCAP library" if !KUNIT_ALL_TESTS
+ depends on KUNIT
+ depends on KUNIT=y && VCAP=y && y
+ select DEBUG_FS
+ default KUNIT_ALL_TESTS
+ help
+ This builds unit tests for the VCAP library.
+
+ For more information on KUnit and unit tests in general, please refer
+ to the KUnit documentation in Documentation/dev-tools/kunit/.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
