6a8d8abb 9 every uevent.
7934779a

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.

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.

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.

104 request_firmware() will find them without having to call out to

106 device that uses such firmware and you do not wish to use an
107 initrd.

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.
