config UEVENT_HELPER

bool "Support for uevent helper"
|
|
default y
|
|
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.

later at runtime.

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.

config DEVTMPFS_MOUNT
|
|
bool "Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs"
|
|
depends on DEVTMPFS
|
|
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.

config PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD
|
|
bool "Disable drivers features which enable custom firmware building"
|
|
default y
|
|
help
|
|
Say yes to disable driver features which enable building a custom
|
|
driver firmware at kernel build time. These drivers do not use the
|
|
kernel firmware API to load firmware (CONFIG_FW_LOADER), instead they
|
|
use their own custom loading mechanism. The required firmware is
|
|
usually shipped with the driver, building the driver firmware
|
|
should only be needed if you have an updated firmware source.
|
|
|
|
Firmware should not be being built as part of kernel, these days
|
|
you should always prevent this and say Y here. There are only two
|
|
old drivers which enable building of its firmware at kernel build
|
|
time:
|
|
|
|
o CONFIG_WANXL through CONFIG_WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE
|
|
o CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX through CONFIG_AIC79XX_BUILD_FIRMWARE

This option controls if the device coredump mechanism is available or
|

not; if disabled, the mechanism will be omitted even if drivers that

can use it are enabled.

Say 'N' for more sensitive systems or systems that don't want

Say Y here if you want the Driver core to produce a bunch of

debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a

going on.

This option enables kernel parameter devres.log. If set to

non-zero, devres debug messages are printed. Select this if

you are having a problem with devres or want to debug
|

resource management for a managed device. devres.log can be

switched on and off from sysfs node.

config DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE

Say Y here if you want the Driver core to test driver remove functions
|
|
by calling probe, remove, probe. This tests the remove path without
|
|
having to unbind the driver or unload the driver module.
|
|
|
|
This option is expected to find errors and may render your system
|
|
unusable. You should say N here unless you are explicitly looking to

test this functionality.
