6a8d8abb | 7 | help |
86d56134 | 8 | The uevent helper program is forked by the kernel for |
6a8d8abb | 9 | every uevent. |
7934779a KS |
10 | Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was |
11 | used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It | |
12 | usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug. | |
13 | This should not be used today, because usual systems create | |
14 | many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time | |
15 | frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes | |
16 | that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems | |
17 | it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup. | |

2b2af54a | 31 | help |
da5e4ef7 | 32 | This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup. |
4237e5fd KS |
33 | In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device |
34 | nodes with their default names and permissions for all | |
35 | registered devices with an assigned major/minor number. | |
36 | Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add | |
37 | symlinks, and apply needed permissions. | |
38 | It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually | |
39 | udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful | |
40 | symlinks. | |
41 | In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient | |
42 | functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple | |
43 | rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers. | |

94 | Various drivers in the kernel source tree may require firmware, |
95 | which is generally available in your distribution's linux-firmware | |
96 | package. | |
97 | ||
98 | The linux-firmware package should install firmware into | |
99 | /lib/firmware/ on your system, so they can be loaded by userspace | |
100 | helpers on request. | |
d172e7f5 DW |
101 | |
102 | Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob | |
0946b2fb RJ |
103 | specified by EXTRA_FIRMWARE into the kernel directly, where |
104 | request_firmware() will find them without having to call out to | |
105 | userspace. This may be useful if your root file system requires a | |
106 | device that uses such firmware and you do not wish to use an | |
107 | initrd. | |
d172e7f5 DW |
108 | |
109 | This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for | |
0946b2fb | 110 | every driver that uses request_firmware(), which avoids a |

128 | the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is | |
113647a2 | 129 | by default the firmware subdirectory of the kernel source tree. |
4d2acfbf | 130 | |
113647a2 | 131 | For example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin", copy |
132 | the usb8388.bin file into the firmware directory, and build the kernel. | |
133 | Then any request_firmware("usb8388.bin") will be satisfied internally | |
134 | without needing to call out to userspace. | |
