The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks. CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system. This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.

|
|
Path to uevent helper program 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.
|
|
|
|
To disable user space helper program execution at early boot
|
|
time specify an empty string here. This setting can be altered
|
|
via /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug or via /sys/kernel/uevent_helper
|
|
later at runtime.

depends on HOTPLUG
|
|
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 roots 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
|
|
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

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.
