Michael Marineau86d56132014-04-10 14:09:31 -070010 The uevent helper program is forked by the kernel for
Kay Sievers6a8d8ab2007-08-15 15:38:28 +020011 every uevent.
Kay Sievers79347792010-01-14 22:49:39 +010012 Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was
13 used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It
14 usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug.
15 This should not be used today, because usual systems create
16 many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time
17 frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes
18 that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems
19 it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup.

Kay Sievers2b2af542009-04-30 15:23:42 +020033 help
Peter Korsgaardda5e4ef2010-03-16 21:55:21 +010034 This creates a tmpfs/ramfs filesystem instance early at bootup.
Kay Sievers4237e5f2010-01-14 22:47:57 +010035 In this filesystem, the kernel driver core maintains device
36 nodes with their default names and permissions for all
37 registered devices with an assigned major/minor number.
38 Userspace can modify the filesystem content as needed, add
39 symlinks, and apply needed permissions.
40 It provides a fully functional /dev directory, where usually
41 udev runs on top, managing permissions and adding meaningful
42 symlinks.
43 In very limited environments, it may provide a sufficient
44 functional /dev without any further help. It also allows simple
45 rescue systems, and reliably handles dynamic major/minor numbers.

Luis R. Rodriguez02c39932018-05-10 13:08:41 -070078 Say yes to disable driver features which enable building a custom
79 driver firmware at kernel build time. These drivers do not use the
80 kernel firmware API to load firmware (CONFIG_FW_LOADER), instead they
81 use their own custom loading mechanism. The required firmware is
82 usually shipped with the driver, building the driver firmware
83 should only be needed if you have an updated firmware source.
