help
|
|
The uevent helper program is forked by the kernel for
|
|
every uevent.
|
|
Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
|
|
used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
|
|
usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
|
|
This should not be used today, because usual systems create
|
|
many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
|
|
frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
|
|
that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
|
|
it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.

config DEVTMPFS
|

bool "Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev"
|
|
help
|
|
This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.
|
|
In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
|
|
nodes with their default names and permissions for all
|
|
registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
|
|
Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
|
|
symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
|
|
It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
|
|
udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
|
|
symlinks.
|
|
In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
|
|
functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
|
|
rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.
|
|
|
|
Notice: if CONFIG_TMPFS isn't enabled, the simpler ramfs
|
|
file system will be used instead.

This will instruct the kernel to automatically mount the

devtmpfs filesystem at /dev, directly after the kernel has
|

mounted the root filesystem. The behavior can be overridden
|
|
with the commandline parameter: devtmpfs.mount=0|1.

This option does not affect initramfs based booting, here

the devtmpfs filesystem always needs to be mounted manually
|

after the rootfs is mounted.

With this option enabled, it allows to bring up a system in

on the rootfs is completely empty.

bool "Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary"

depends on FW_LOADER

default y
|
|
help
|
|
The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
|
|
that are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
|
|
use these is to run "make firmware_install", which, after
|
|
converting ihex files to binary, copies all of the needed
|
|
binary files in firmware/ to /lib/firmware/ on your system so
|
|
that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request.
|
|
|
|
Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob
|
|
into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find
|
|
them without having to call out to userspace. This may be
|
|
useful if your root file system requires a device that uses
|
|
such firmware and do not wish to use an initrd.
|
|
|
|
This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for
|
|
every driver that uses request_firmware() and ships its
|
|
firmware in the kernel source tree, which avoids a
|
|
proliferation of 'Include firmware for xxx device' options.
|
|
|
|
Say 'N' and let firmware be loaded from userspace.

config EXTRA_FIRMWARE

string "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary"

|
|
help
|
|
This option allows firmware to be built into the kernel for the case
|
|
where the user either cannot or doesn't want to provide it from
|
|
userspace at runtime (for example, when the firmware in question is
|
|
required for accessing the boot device, and the user doesn't want to
|
|
use an initrd).
|
|
|
|
This option is a string and takes the (space-separated) names of the
|
|
firmware files -- the same names that appear in MODULE_FIRMWARE()
|
|
and request_firmware() in the source. These files should exist under
|
|
the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is
|
|
by default the firmware subdirectory of the kernel source tree.
|
|
|
|
For example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin", copy
|
|
the usb8388.bin file into the firmware directory, and build the kernel.
|
|
Then any request_firmware("usb8388.bin") will be satisfied internally
|
|
without needing to call out to userspace.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: If you include additional firmware files into your binary
|
|
kernel image that are not available under the terms of the GPL,
|
|
then it may be a violation of the GPL to distribute the resulting
|
|
image since it combines both GPL and non-GPL work. You should

|
consult a lawyer of your own before distributing such an image.
