- 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.
- config UEVENT_HELPER_PATH

- help
- To disable user space helper program execution at by default

- 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.

- need it.

- 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

- can use it are enabled.

- going on.
- If you are unsure about this, say N here.
- config DEBUG_DEVRES

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

- switched on and off from sysfs node.

- 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.

- DMA mapping framework by default aligns all buffers to the smallest
- PAGE_SIZE order which is greater than or equal to the requested buffer
- size. This works well for buffers up to a few hundreds kilobytes, but
- for larger buffers it just a memory waste. With this parameter you can
- specify the maximum PAGE_SIZE order for contiguous buffers. Larger
- buffers will be aligned only to this specified order. The order is
- expressed as a power of two multiplied by the PAGE_SIZE.
- For example, if your system defaults to 4KiB pages, the order value
- of 8 means that the buffers will be aligned up to 1MiB only.
- If unsure, leave the default value "8".
