Remove Z3FOLD option from Tinker kernel config

[sairon]

The z3fold allocator was deprecated with the reasoning explained in [1] and this patch was backported to stable 6.6.y as well. We enable zsmalloc in shared hassos.config and the enabled option in the Tinker config was probably just some remnant from the past.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request involves a modification to the kernel configuration file for the Asus Tinker board. The primary change is the removal of the CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y configuration option, which disables the Z3FOLD memory compression feature. This alteration suggests a potential adjustment in the board's memory management approach, potentially impacting system memory handling and performance characteristics.

Changes

File	Change Summary
buildroot-external/board/asus/tinker/kernel.config	Removed CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y configuration option

Rationale for Change

While the raw summary doesn't explicitly state the reason for removing the Z3FOLD configuration, the change indicates a deliberate decision to modify the kernel's memory compression strategy. Z3FOLD is an alternative memory compression mechanism, and its removal might be related to performance optimization, compatibility issues, or a preference for alternative memory management techniques.

The configuration file continues to maintain a comprehensive set of kernel features, suggesting that this change is a targeted modification rather than a wholesale restructuring of the kernel configuration.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
