# # LAPB Data Link Drive # config LAPB tristate "LAPB Data Link Driver" ---help--- Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) is the data link layer (i.e. the lower) part of the X.25 protocol. It offers a reliable connection service to exchange data frames with one other host, and it is used to transport higher level protocols (mostly X.25 Packet Layer, the higher part of X.25, but others are possible as well). Usually, LAPB is used with specialized X.21 network cards, but Linux currently supports LAPB only over Ethernet connections. If you want to use LAPB connections over Ethernet, say Y here and to "LAPB over Ethernet driver" below. Read for technical details. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called lapb. If unsure, say N. a>

perf/x86/intel/rapl: Make package handling more robust
The package management code in RAPL relies on package mapping being available before a CPU is started. This changed with: 9d85eb9119f4 ("x86/smpboot: Make logical package management more robust") because the ACPI/BIOS information turned out to be unreliable, but that left RAPL in broken state. This was not noticed because on a regular boot all CPUs are online before RAPL is initialized. A possible fix would be to reintroduce the mess which allocates a package data structure in CPU prepare and when it turns out to already exist in starting throw it away later in the CPU online callback. But that's a horrible hack and not required at all because RAPL becomes functional for perf only in the CPU online callback. That's correct because user space is not yet informed about the CPU being onlined, so nothing caan rely on RAPL being available on that particular CPU. Move the allocation to the CPU online callback and simplify the hotplug handling. At this point the package mapping is established and correct. This also adds a missing check for available package data in the event_init() function.
