  4. depends on HOTPLUG
  5. default ""
  6. help
  7. Path to uevent helper program forked by the kernel for
  8. every uevent.
  9. Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
  10. used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
  11. usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
  12. This should not be used today, because usual systems create
  13. many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
  14. frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
  15. that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
  16. it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.
  17. config DEVTMPFS
  18. bool "Maintain a devtmpfs filesystem to mount at /dev"
  19. depends on HOTPLUG
  20. help
  21. This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.
  22. In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
  23. nodes with their default names and permissions for all
  24. registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
  25. Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
  26. symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
  27. It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
  28. udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
  29. symlinks.
  30. In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
  31. functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
  32. rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.
  33. Notice: if CONFIG_TMPFS isn't enabled, the simpler ramfs
  34. file system will be used instead.
  35. config DEVTMPFS_MOUNT
  36. bool "Automount devtmpfs at /dev, after the kernel mounted the rootfs"
  37. depends on DEVTMPFS
  38. help
  39. This will instruct the kernel to automatically mount the
  40. devtmpfs filesystem at /dev, directly after the kernel has
  41. mounted the root filesystem. The behavior can be overridden
  42. with the commandline parameter: devtmpfs.mount=0|1.
  43. This option does not affect initramfs based booting, here
  44. the devtmpfs filesystem always needs to be mounted manually
  45. after the roots is mounted.
  46. With this option enabled, it allows to bring up a system in
  47. rescue mode with init=/bin/sh, even when the /dev directory
  48. on the rootfs is completely empty.
  49. config STANDALONE
  50. bool "Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware" if EXPERIMENTAL
  51. default y
  52. help
  53. Select this option if you don't have magic firmware for drivers that
  54. need it.
  55. If unsure, say Y.
  56. config PREVENT_FIRMWARE_BUILD
  57. bool "Prevent firmware from being built"
  58. default y
  59. help
  60. Say yes to avoid building firmware. Firmware is usually shipped
  61. with the driver, and only when updating the firmware a rebuild
  62. should be made.
  63. If unsure say Y here.
  64. config FW_LOADER
  65. tristate "Userspace firmware loading support" if EXPERT
  66. default y
  67. ---help---
  68. This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree modules
  69. require userspace firmware loading support, but a module built outside
  70. the kernel tree does.
  71. config FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL
  72. bool "Include in-kernel firmware blobs in kernel binary"
  73. depends on FW_LOADER
  74. default y
  75. help
  76. The kernel source tree includes a number of firmware 'blobs'
  77. which are used by various drivers. The recommended way to
  78. use these is to run "make firmware_install" and to copy the
  79. resulting binary files created in usr/lib/firmware directory
  80. of the kernel tree to the /lib/firmware on your system so
  81. that they can be loaded by userspace helpers on request.
  82. Enabling this option will build each required firmware blob
  83. into the kernel directly, where request_firmware() will find
  84. them without having to call out to userspace. This may be
  85. useful if your root file system requires a device which uses
  86. such firmware, and do not wish to use an initrd.
  87. This single option controls the inclusion of firmware for
  88. every driver which uses request_firmware() and ships its
  89. firmware in the kernel source tree, to avoid a proliferation
  90. of 'Include firmware for xxx device' options.
  91. Say 'N' and let firmware be loaded from userspace.
  92. config EXTRA_FIRMWARE
  93. string "External firmware blobs to build into the kernel binary"
  94. depends on FW_LOADER
  95. help
  96. This option allows firmware to be built into the kernel, for the
  97. cases where the user either cannot or doesn't want to provide it from
  98. userspace at runtime (for example, when the firmware in question is
  99. required for accessing the boot device, and the user doesn't want to
  100. use an initrd).
  101. This option is a string, and takes the (space-separated) names of the
  102. firmware files -- the same names which appear in MODULE_FIRMWARE()
  103. and request_firmware() in the source. These files should exist under
  104. the directory specified by the EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR option, which is
  105. by default the firmware/ subdirectory of the kernel source tree.
  106. So, for example, you might set CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="usb8388.bin",
  107. copy the usb8388.bin file into the firmware/ directory, and build the
  108. kernel. Then any request_firmware("usb8388.bin") will be
  109. satisfied internally without needing to call out to userspace.
  110. WARNING: If you include additional firmware files into your binary
  111. kernel image which are not available under the terms of the GPL,
  112. then it may be a violation of the GPL to distribute the resulting
  113. image -- since it combines both GPL and non-GPL work. You should
  114. consult a lawyer of your own before distributing such an image.
  115. config EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR
  116. string "Firmware blobs root directory"
  117. depends on EXTRA_FIRMWARE != ""
  118. default "firmware"
  119. help
  120. This option controls the directory in which the kernel build system
  121. looks for the firmware files listed in the EXTRA_FIRMWARE option.
  122. The default is the firmware/ directory in the kernel source tree,
  123. but by changing this option you can point it elsewhere, such as
  124. the /lib/firmware/ directory or another separate directory
  125. containing firmware files.
  126. config DEBUG_DRIVER
  127. bool "Driver Core verbose debug messages"
  128. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
  129. help
  130. Say Y here if you want the Driver core to produce a bunch of
  131. debug messages to the system log. Select this if you are having a
  132. problem with the driver core and want to see more of what is
  133. going on.
  134. If you are unsure about this, say N here.
  135. config DEBUG_DEVRES
  136. bool "Managed device resources verbose debug messages"
  137. depends on DEBUG_KERNEL
  138. help
  139. This option enables kernel parameter devres.log. If set to
  140. non-zero, devres debug messages are printed. Select this if
  141. you are having a problem with devres or want to debug
  142. resource management for a managed device. devres.log can be
  143. switched on and off from sysfs node.
  144. If you are unsure about this, Say N here.
