• prompt: SCIF Driver
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_64BIT && CONFIG_PCI && CONFIG_X86 && CONFIG_SCIF_BUS && CONFIG_IOMMU_SUPPORT
• defined in drivers/misc/mic/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.2–4.20, 5.0–5.9
• modules built: scif

Help text

This enables SCIF Driver support for the Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) family of PCIe form factor coprocessor devices that run a 64 bit Linux OS. The Symmetric Communication Interface (SCIF (pronounced as skiff)) is a low level communications API across PCIe currently implemented for MIC.

If you are building a host kernel with an Intel MIC device then say M (recommended) or Y, else say N. If unsure say N.

More information about the Intel MIC family as well as the Linux OS and tools for MIC to use with this driver are available from http://software.intel.com/en-us/mic-developer.
