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.

help

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

rescue mode with init=/bin/sh, even when the /dev directory
|

on the rootfs is completely empty.

help
|
|
Various drivers in the kernel source tree may require firmware,
|
|
which is generally available in your distribution's linux-firmware
|
|
package.
|
|
|
|
The linux-firmware package should install firmware into
|
|
/lib/firmware/ on your system, so they can be loaded by userspace
|
|
helpers on request.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
/lib/firmware by default.
|
|
|
|
For example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin", copy
|
|
the usb8388.bin file into /lib/firmware, 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.
